The Southern Pride Marching Band delighted their audience of 1 to 4-year-olds and grownups alike at Pittman Park Education Center (PPEC) during Georgia Southern Homecoming week. The band gave a lively performance and even played a few numbers from popular cartoons.
Developing local pride and igniting team spirit starts early for the youngsters at PPEC, which is a part of Pittman Park United Methodist Church in Statesboro, Georgia.
The Center's director, Kimberly Mitchell, said she reaches out to the Georgia Southern marching band each year as part of PPEC's Homecoming week tradition. The joy of seeing their children experience the marching band gives families a fun and festive highlight during the busy fall season.
The youngsters participate in a variety of dress-up days and themed arts and crafts activities throughout the week, as well.
Hearing the youngest Eagles fans cheering and clapping with the band is something PPEC families have come to look forward to each year. Go Eagles!
