ACA Band rates "SUPERIOR" at Hoover Invitational!
We are so proud of the marching band! The kids worked so hard and their efforts paid off. The band rated "Superior" scoring all 1's at the competition in Hoover this past Saturday.

There were 15 bands in our division, many with 50+ more players than we had, and we still ranked 3rd in the division and 7th in the overall competition out of 32 bands! Zack, our Drum Major also tied for 2nd place out of all 32 bands in the Drum Major category, falling only 1 point behind the first place leader, who just happened to be in our AA division and won Best in Class. Our Color Guard won "Best in Class" in our AA division and tied for 2nd place out of all 32 bands!!!

Isn't that exciting?! Our kids did an AWESOME job and we are so proud of each of them!

Mr. Edwards (Logan's Dad) has graciously posted pictures from the competition on the web and provided us with the link.

No More After School Marching Rehearsals
Mr. Stough has decided to practice during 7th period doing run-thru's of the show with no after school rehearsals in preparation for our last few games. His quote..."we've worked the kids hard and pushed them beyond their comfort zone. They deserve a break after many weeks of hard work and extra rehearsals!"

Parent Band T-Shirts
The parent band t-shirts have been in for several weeks. There are still some that have not been picked up and/or paid for. If you ordered a parent t-shirt and have not picked it up, please stop by the school office (or have your child stop by) and pick up your t-shirt between Wednesday, October 17th and Friday, October 19th.
