!!! COUGAR BAND – COUGAR PRIDE !!!

Good luck, band!!! I hope you will strive to put forth your best efforts on the field. We need everyone to be focused and positive about what we have to do at 3:40 p.m. on Saturday. I know what you are capable of doing and I want to see you put that on the field. I don’t really worry about scores and awards as long as I know we left nothing on the field and no doubts in our minds that we gave 110% !!! I am very proud of our accomplishments up to this point. Let’s take the step to the next level!! “One show – good-bye!!! The Cougar Band has left the stadium!!!”
A special thanks to the Seniors of 2011. I am very proud to be one of your directors and to be a small part of your lives!! I want you to know that ya’ll are a BIG part of my life!! Let’s have the “greatest show on Earth” this Saturday. Thank you for your passion for music and your dedication to the Cougar Band.
