Band and Football

[peabodymom]

This season, as in the past several seasons, Peabody has about 10 young men who play football and perform in the marching band.....a testament to a coach and band director who work together as well as tremendous dedication put forth by the guys who do it......I don't know how they manage, but they do. They are under a lot of pressure from their peers, coaches and band directors as they are expected to give 100% to both activities. The band players do not perform at away games, however, but they change into a clean jersey and remove their pads for home game halftime shows. They travel with the band and perform at all contests, and they are a valuable assest to both programs. We are fortunate to belong to a school whose goal it is to develop well-rounded students and integrate pride in their school as a "team"...encompassing all of their activities together - not seperate entities.

P.S. PEabody won their game against USJ (14-13) last night in part because our kicker made both of our field goals, something USJ was unable to do to tie the game......our kicker is also a band captain and a member of our percussion section.

WELL PUT TIDE MOM!!! GO #4!!! LOL I'd like to also mention that 2 years ago a young man started for the Tidemen, was in the band AND maintained a 4.0 GPA! He received a full ride to Knoxville....oh and even got a huge roll in a Sub-Way commercial!!!!!! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!

I remember back when I was in school the was some football players who marched but I doubt a football coach would let a player march unless it was like home coming or something like that.

There was a player at munford who did both.

Kids should be able to participate in as many school activities as they want. At Peabody they have a faculity and staff that works really well together and not act like one program is more important than the other. They are for the kids doing something positive and the more the better. At what point in a persons life can one do so much? It is now while they are in high school. Peabody has a great school and the support from the town shows it in all activities. This is a great town and our kids give something back every time they perform either in football, band or any other activity. No loser can do this type stuff. The city of Trenton is very proud of what our kids have done to this point of the school year. The football team had a good year, the band is always great, and the girls soccer team played well. Keep it up young people. We love watching you doing good things for our community.
