Pit’s Choice Award!

While trophies are nice, the best part is the hard work, drive, and growth this band has made this year!! 🩵🥁🏆 They have worked incredibly hard, pushed themselves to be better, and continued to grow both individually and as a team. Every rehearsal, every afternoon, every long competition day, and every moment they chose to keep pushing has helped make this season special.

The trophies are a wonderful reward, but the dedication, determination, teamwork, and pride these students have shown are what make us the MOST proud! Watching them grow, overcome challenges, and accomplish things they may not have thought possible is what it’s all about.

Congratulations to the East Burke Marching Cavaliers on an incredible day and a collection of well-earned hardware! 🏆🩵🤍 We are so proud of you and can’t wait to see what else this season has in store!

Once a Cavalier, always a Cavalier! 💙🤍🥁
