TRINITY MARCHING LIONS ARE ON THE MOVE!
By Samantha DePriest
It has always been a vision for Tim Hurt, our Performing Arts Director, to have a musical component to Friday Night Lights here at Trinity. Head of School Dr. Mark Anthony shares, “TCS is committed to nurturing an environment where the arts can thrive. It is my prayer that our students will fully engage with our Performing Arts program.”
In January of 2019, the TCS Drum Corps was formed and composed of 10 Middle School students. Then in August of 2019, this group grew to 16 students and played for the Varsity Football home games. In 2020, we had our first Summer Band Camp and also created Middle School Drum Corps. The following year the Pep Band and Color Guard was added and they started traveling to all away Varsity football games as well.
A Rhythm section has been added this year and the team has more than tripled in size and includes our very first field show and marching formations complete with electric guitars. The half time performance appropriately named “Solid Rock” because Jesus is our foundation featured for the first time on Friday, August 19th at our 1st game of the season in Lions Stadium. Way to grow Lions!!
Stay tuned for more greatness from our Friday Night Lights performers as “TCS Band Night” will be on Friday, September 16th at our Homecoming football game against Riverdale where our parents, alumni, and student Pep Band will all perform together. We love to see how these musically gifted students share their God given talents with our school community!
