HOMECOMING 2011 RECAP {PART 2}: THE TAILGATE

We kicked off game day with a Homecoming tailgate. Originally planned to be held at Lake Lorna Doone, we changed venues and set up at Barker's Park. Although it wasn't a huge turn out, we made the best of what we had. Everyone ate some good food, cracked a few jokes, got in a few pics, then headed over to the band room to prepare for the game. Once again, thank you to all alumni who came out to the tailgate and helped make it a great day. Shout out to MTA Miara Arnold, Tracey Gordon, and Jonathan Bridges, who grilled for us :-)

HOMECOMING 2011 RECAP {PART 1}: THE MEET & GREET

After months and months of planning, the stage was finally set for Homecoming 2011. MTA members, Traci Wade-Bradford, Bryan Tribue and I, planned a 2-day celebration and formed an alumni band that performed with the Marching Tigers. See how it all came together.

THE MEET & GREET (Wednesday, October 26, 2011)

The biggest part of Marching Tiger Alumni as a whole, is giving back and supporting Mr. Redding and the Marching Tigers. The first of our Homecoming festivities was a Meet & Greet pizza party that we hosted for the Marching Tigers. After practice, the band played a quick jam session then were fed good Domino's pizza and were given some nice candy and cookie treats to go along with it. A good time was had by all. Thank you Traci Wade-Bradford, band parents, and alumni for pulling it all together.
