PRESIDENTS
Congratulations to all members of the 2020 Pride of Broken Arrow! We are looking forward to another wonderful season. If you are just now joining the Pride Family, hang on, you are in for a great ride! You will hear this advice repeated over the next several months: 1) Find a way to connect and serve in the parent organization. You will get out more than you put in. 2) Trust the process. This will be a “growth” opportunity for most of your students. They will work hard and learn many valuable life skills that will serve them well from this point forward.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the upcoming band parent meeting on Tuesday, June 9th. We will be meeting in the stands of the football stadium. This outdoor venue will make it easier for us to support social distancing efforts and reduce risk for all. Many questions regarding the upcoming season will be answered at this time. We appreciate your patience as we navigate the process of “opening up” the campus for our students and provide a safe and productive return to group practice.

2020 graduates: I know these past few months have been particularly difficult for you. Please stay tuned! We are still working to plan a special celebration for the 2019 Pride Season.
