President's Blog (updated 12/6/2009)

Saturday, October 31, was our Marching Band's last two competitions. Our Marching Mavericks took 1st place in their class at Audrey Kell H.S. in the morning competition, and finished the day at South Rowan H.S. winning, not only 1st placed in their class but, GRAND CHAMPIONS for the day. Congratulations!
It has given me great pleasure to be a part of this group of young and very professional students. At each competition this year they have shown their love of music and their competitive spirit, and yet have been supportive of the other bands as well and gracious in accepting each award. It has been a pleasure to be able to say proudly. "We are the Marching Mavericks" My associated with this fine mix of young men and women is a memory I will not soon forget. I thank our staff and all our volunteers thought-out this season for making the 2009 season so successful.

GO MAVERICKS,

Jim Cronley
MRBB President

GO MARCHING MAVERICKS!!!
