Directors’ Note – 10/7 Thank you to everyone who attended the game last Friday on their “day off”. I don’t want to jinx anything, but be ready for a playoff game on November 9. We are looking forward to a great week of practice and parades. We hope all of you will join us for the post-game performance on Friday evening.  It is with great pride that we share that Centennial Band alumni and current color guard instructor, Anna Steltenpohl, was recently awarded an $8,000 scholarship from Georgia’s Own Credit Union. She received the scholarship for a video she made documenting her love and passion for color guard. We are very proud Anna and I hope you will take a moment to watch her video. There is no greater feeling for a teacher than to know you played a small part in helping a student find their passion in life.
