We don’t know if you’ve heard, but the Calhoun County Marching Band is a big deal. They continue stacking up awards while performing in a higher class — and the Black Walnut Festival was no exception.
The band played the fight song in the parade and had an incredible competition night full of top‑tier results. They even performed in a cold downpour, but it didn’t dampen their spirit or their sound.
Awards Earned:
🏆 DIVISION 2 Competition Band Runner-Up!
Parade- Class C:
🥇 1st Place
Field Show Class C:
🥇 1st Place – Field Commander (Drum Major)
🥇 1st Place – Percussion
🥈 2nd Place – Field Competition Band
Overall Awards (out of all 19 bands):
🥈 Feature Twirler – 2nd Place
Miss Majorette Competition (37 majorettes):
👑 Miss Majorette 1st Runner-Up – Trinity Probasco
👑 Miss Majorette 2nd Runner-Up – Carissa Sands
These students have shown tremendous growth, discipline, and heart — and they continue to represent Calhoun County with pride everywhere they go.
📣 Next up:
The band travels this weekend for two competitions in Charleston — first at Riverside, then at South Charleston. Let’s cheer them on as they take the field again.
Special thanks to the parents who ran all the way back to the school to get the rain coats, parents for provding a cookout for the students, and Brad Stevens for the grilling.

"Your student is being asked to participate in a short survey named the Integrated Community Engagement Collaborative Youth Survey. This survey will help us understand what life is like for students in our community: what they enjoy, what they wish was different, and whether they feel supported by the people around them. The survey will help us understand what students in 7th-12th grades are experiencing and what they are exposed to in their communities.
Their answers are anonymous and please encourage them to answer honestly so the community can learn what students truly need. Their responses cannot be traced back to them in any way. The information they share will help counties apply for grants that fund programs, activities, and opportunities for youth.
Please find the attached Parent Letter with more information about the survey. Every student that participates in the survey is entered in a drawing to win an Ipad.“

🏆 Happy National Coaches Day! 🏆
Today we celebrate the coaches who do so much more than teach a sport.
They encourage. They challenge. They motivate. They build confidence. And most importantly, they help shape the character of the young people they coach. ❤️
Thank you to all of our coaches who give their time, energy, patience, and heart to our students and athletes. The lessons you teach reach far beyond the field, court, track, or gym—and your impact lasts long after the season ends.
We appreciate everything you do! 💯❤️
Help us celebrate National Coaches Day! 🏆 Give a shout-out in the comments to a coach who has made a positive impact on you or your athlete, and tell us what makes them special!
