10/30/11 UPDATE

Congratulations to the JA Marching Band for earning straight Superior ratings from all judges at the MAIS Marching Band Festival at Jackson Prep on Saturday. The JA Band earned the highest scores of the day for band, color guard, and percussion. This marks 22 straight years of All-Superior ratings for the JA Band.


The video of the band's performance at Lewisburg HS for the Southern Stars Invitational is now linked in the YouTube Video Links box to the right.


Thank you to Annie Campbell, Caroline Burford, Hannah McCowan, Samara Dallaire, Zack McWilliams, and Will Tribble, who helped on Saturday with a fundraiser for the Winter Guard. The students served 260 meals to the visiting DeSoto Central HS Band and parents, who rehearsed at JA then went on to repeat as Class 6A State Marching Band Champions that evening at Clinton HS.
