Congratulations to Our Brightest!

The honor roll lists have been released on the school website for all grades. The EPG Bands are proud to have so many students on the honor roll.

Thanks again to everyone for your hard work. I know the food pantry and community appreciates the donations.

The Season Ends

The Halloween Show marked the end of a tremendously successful season for the Marching Titans. The show was a success. The band performed well and the younger students are still talking about how much fun they had. The band parents collected boxes of canned goods that were taken to the food pantry to help families in need during the holiday season.

The competitive season ended in a decisive victory over two of our biggest 1A competitors, Tri-Valley and Farmington Central, by placing 2nd overall at Mahomet-Seymour. The Drum Majors and Percussion also came away with caption awards.

The MT came away with 12 trophies in all this season and were just a few points from a perfect record. It’s evident that all the preparation in the Summer months paid off for the band.

Thanks to all the parents, administration, and community members who made this fantastic season a reality for the students.
