Best of luck to JA Guard members Annie Campbell, Caroline Burford, Samantha Hill, Abbi Thomas, Sarah Allen Bowman, and Hannah McCowan, who attended the MS Lions All-State Band Guard and Dance clinic on Saturday.

All-State Band auditions will be November 12, with callbacks November 19, at Pearl HS. 

The Lions Band will travel this summer to Hawaii for the Lions International Conference and Parade.
