Dear ACA Band Boosters and Staff Members,
I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the tremendous support you have given to our band this year. We have had an outstanding 20070 marching season, and much of the success can be attributed to your hard work and dedication.
First and foremost, a special thanks to Gary and Tracey Kirksey for their leadership of our Booster club. Gary and Tracey have put countless hours into our band, often without notice to insure the success of our program. They do this simply for the love of the band and for the kids.
Our other Booster Officers include: Tony and Elizabeth Staten, Vice Presidents; Deborah Streetman, Treasurer; Judy Rittenour, Fundraising; Diane Patterson, Secretary; Phil and Julie Berube, Special Events Coordinators; Cecilia Porterfield, 7th Grade Representative/Runner Coordinator; Wendy Jones, 6th Grade Representative. All of these people do a fantastic job and their support is appreciated.
I would also like to thank all of my staff for doing a wonderful job. Our Color Guard under the leadership of Rachel Phillips and with the help from Janet Morrison, once again won 1st place honors at contest. Our Percussion, led by Ed Harrell, received superiors at both festivals, as did our Drum Major, Zack Shields. Kevin Morrison, who assisted with cleaning the show and writing the ending of our show, did a tremendous job as well. I felt truly blessed to have such a competent staff to work with, and without them, we would not have had the successful year that we did.
Lastly, I want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I look forward to many more opportunities to work with all of you. May God bless each and every one of you.
Sincerely,
Mike Stough
Director of Bands
Alabama Christian Academy
