FBA Marching Band Evaluation Results

Congratulations to all the members of the Marching Band for their straight "Superior" performance at the FBA District 15 Marching Band Performance Assessment held at Coconut Creek HS on October 21. You have maintained the standard set by the very first JPT band in 1981, by earning "Superior" ratings in all captions, something that has been done every years since (except 2005 due to Hurricane Wilma). Your final performance at the Coral Springs game on October 27, was even more exciting and earned a well deserved standing ovation from the home stands. "Nice job" to all of you.
