Congratulations to the Carrollton Trojan Band for another fantastic performance last night! You should be VERY PROUD of what you accomplished. You had the crowd on their feet, and they reacted at all the right moments. Your performance was memorable! People in the audience were buzzing about your performance; they will talk about it for years.

We placed 2nd in Class AAAAA and Overall in Band and in Drum Majors, and 1st in Class AAAAA and Overall in Colorguard and Percussion. The judges had a difficult judgment call to make between outstanding bands. 2 of the 5 judges placed us in first, and the other 3 had Kell in first. When the scores were averaged, Kell outscored us by only .66. At the end of the day, the judges provided their perspective, but they don’t define us. The way you performed, lifted each other up, and created an unforgettable experience for our community is what matters. Trophies will tarnish, but the memories you made together and the skills you’ve gained will stay with you for life.

I am honored to work with a group of young people who care so much, who put in the extra effort, who encourage one another, and who push themselves daily to higher levels. This season has been incredible, and you are among the very best in our activity. Thank you for giving your all and representing Carrollton with pride. Although our competitive season has finished, we are not done yet. We have many more memories to make as a band and more performances to perform for our community.

This week was full of activities – we performed at the Carroll County Marching Exhibition on Tuesday evening hosted by Villa Rica High School. Thank you so much to R. Kevin Brown, Ann Wilson, and their band parents for hosting us. The exhibition is always a highlight of the season because we get to come together as a community and cheer one another on. The bands in our community continue to get better each year! Friday, we traveled to Westlake HS to cheer on our Trojans to another victory! The team is now 7-0 for the season! HUGE SHOUTOUT to the parents who were with us every step of the way this week and throughout the season. You’ve made this season more memorable. We couldn’t have done this without you. This week we get to have a little fun with HOMECOMING!

Chocolate Bar Fundraiser • We have Chocolate Left to Sell

Although our goal was to completely sell out of chocolate by September 5, we still have chocolate left to sell. If you have not turned in your money from the original box that you took home in August, that money is now due. Thank you so much to the families who have sold multiple boxes! We will keep selling until we sell out. Remember, you earn $25 per box sold to use towards band fees or towards the Universal Trip once the band fees are paid off.

Trojan Band Golf Tournament

We are hosting a Golf Tournament at Mirror Lake Golf Club on November 3 to benefit our band program. Jacob Moomey has organized the event and secured a few teams and sponsors already. If you know of anyone who would like to sponsor the event or play in the event, we would greatly appreciate your help sharing the word! Download this flyer and share it on social media please!

Sponsorship Drive • We need your help

We need your help securing sponsors for our Trojan Band. Students will earn 10% of any sponsorship that they secure to use towards band fees or the Universal Trip. Sponsors have helped provide meals for away games and competitions, they help us maintain our fleet of vehicles so that we can transport equipment to football games and competitions, they help us purchase materials for props for half-time productions, and their generosity in addition to our fundraising efforts helps us keep our band fees affordable for our families.

Sponsors can receive advertising at our Legacy of Champions Competition and other thank-you gifts from our Booster Club for their support. For more information, please contact Heather Warren. We must be strategic and not all contact the same businesses. Please reach out to Ms. Warren before reaching out to businesses independently so that we do not bombard our generous community of supporters. If you have a personal connection with any specific businesses, please let Ms. Warren know so that we can work together for our students.
