I had the honor to join District 4 School Board Member (and Chair of the School Board) Anna Shepherd as special guests at the annual McGavock Band Banquet. This was my second year to attend. It brings back great memories of my days in the band program at school. It’s a wonderful organization led by great teachers, staff and supportive parents and families. Congrats to the McGavock Band on all your successes this past year! Below is a candle that was on each table representing the theme of last year’s Marching Band show and also the seniors on stage who are given special recognition.
