Once our pictures are done, students are released until our 3pm rehearsal on campus.

ECBOE INSERVICE – AUG.2: “The PRIDE” has been asked to perform at this year’s ECBOE In-Service ceremony on Tuesday, August 2nd. This is a tremendous honor for our program. Teachers, administrators and school employee form our entire system will be in attendance at the CrossPoint Community Church of Gadsden. We will perform our pregame show & the national anthem. Our schedule is listed below:

SHOW SHIRTS: This is just a friendly reminder that all members are required to purchase both the red “PRIDE” shirt as well as the black “show” shirt. (*Veteran members who already own a PRIDE shirt do not have to repurchase one) Members who do not have the proper shirt will not be allowed to perform. There are still a few members who have not ordered and or paid for their shirt. This needs to be addressed as soon as possible.

MINI CAMP ANNOUNCEMENTS

Hello PRIDE!

First, we want to say just how proud we are of the entire program for 2 awesome days of camp! All of our members have been working very hard and have already come a long way. Keep it up!

Below are some announcements and reminders for students & parents. Please read them carefully.

WATER JUGS: Several students are bringing smaller water bottles to rehearsal instead of the requested wide-mouthed jugs. This dramatically slows down the time that our parent volunteers can refill them. If at all possible, please ensure that all students have their own personal wide-mouthed jug.
All jugs MUST be taken home each day. We are currently experiencing a small ant issue because of water jugs being left in cubbies.

FLIP FOLDERS: This is a reminder that all Hornline members MUST have their own personal flip folder. Members are required to have these folders by no later than Friday of this week. The band office does not have anymore. Members who did not order a folder through the band office and do not have one should contact Gadsden Music immediately.

FRIDAY’S REHEARSAL: Okay parents and adults, we need your help!! Have you ever been to an Alabama or Auburn or any other SEC football team home game? If you have, you know that the atmosphere is electric during the pregame show.

This year, The PRIDE will perform a full collegiate style pregame show but we need your help to get the crowd pumped up!

We want everyone who can, to come out to our Friday rehearsal at 6pm to learn the cheers that go with our show and help encourage our students. Come August, we’ll be counting on you to help establish this new tradition for our home crowd.

Go PRIDE GO!
Mr. Weaver
Ms. Palmer
Mrs. Probst
