And Prepares for Competition Season

ZEBULON - The Pirate Regiment had an outstanding performance run at the PCHS home football game this past Friday night. Director Chad Reynolds is very proud and pleased with the band's progress this season. "This is probably the most talented and hardest working band that I've had the privilege of ever teaching. We are on track to have a great competition season," said Reynolds.
After the game, visiting Central Carroll Director Neil Ruby met with Reynolds to discuss the evening. Ruby, a band director veteran in the state of Georgia, said the Pike's band was very sophisticated and should "clean up" at competitions this year. He also thanked Reynolds, the Pirate Regiment, and PCHS for the great hospitality he and his group experienced Friday night.
