Congrats to the DEGA BAND!

Keith Taylor, sports producer at ABC 33/40 sent an email stating, "I'm currently putting together tomorrow night's Friday Night Blitz show, and would love to make your band our "Blitz Band of the Week." "

How GREAT you guys! Hard work does pay off. So set your VCR's or TiVo or whatever for ABC 33/40 at 10:30, so that you can see the show. They are using clips from the Pell City vs Dega game.

We are proud of the Talladega High School band and for the great following they are creating by people and the media. Tune in to watch the show and support your band. I can't wait until you guys are in the High School band and getting the same experiences.

Be sure to tell a High School band member congratulations!

GREAT JOB!

WHAT AN OUTSTANDING JOB! I am so proud of you guys. The first performance is now under your belt, not to mention that it was in front of the entire school. I had no idea that you would do even better at the game... wow! What a great job. That just makes me excited about the Winter Guard show. By the way, I was in the pressbox and you really did well performing all the way to the top of the stands!

Just so you know.... several of you have asked about performing again somewhere. I think we can make that happen. When something arises I will let you know.

Also, on the original handout it said that you would have a winter guard meeting on the 13th of October. Due to circumstances that I cannot control we are moving that meeting to October 14th. I am sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause.

A special thank you to Lacey and Kelsey for their hardwork! We appreciate you. Also, thank you to all of the Dega Darlins for helping at practice, showing up to performances and actually performing at the homecoming game. We love you guys!

ZEJH Homecoming

Dress for both the events is an outfit that you do not yet have:
