Talladega County Marching Band Exhibition - SUCCESS!

Congratulations to the bands of BB Comer, Childersburg, Munford, Talladega City, Talladega County Central, and Winterboro High Schools for their participation in the Talladega County Marching Band Exhibition. All bands gave spirited and entertaining peformances and the spectators in attendance responded in approval!

If anyone has photographs of last night's pageantry please email them to me at dmcdaniel@talladega-cs.net. I would love to post them on this blog page.

Special thanks to Sam Ellis and the students and parents of the Childersburg High School Band for sponsoring this event.

Let's start planning now for next year's event so we can make it bigger and better. How about a massed band performance at the end of the night to cap off a great night of entertainment? Just a thought!
