JSU Band Day Information
9/17/2016 The annual JSU Band Day is an event held every year at Jax State that offers high school band students the opportunity to be a “Marching Southerner for a Day.” Several of our recent band graduates from Southside are now members of the JSU Southerners and The PRIDE traditionally has one of the largest groups to participate in band day every year. For $20, participants receive admission to the game, lunch, and instruction from JSU’s top-notch corps of section leaders who will help prepare students to join the Marching Southerners on the field for performance! Participants will also get to sit in the stands next to the Southerners and help them cheer on the Gamecocks as they go head-to-head against Tennessee State University! Not an instrumentalist? That’s fine! You can still be a part of Band Day! Color guard members will receive instruction from some of the Southerners Color Guard's top members. Guard members are asked to only bring a flag. Majorettes and dance line members will have the opportunity to work with the famous Marching Ballerinas. Drum Majors will get the chance to work with the Southerners' Drum Majors and when it's time to perform, they will get to conduct more than 500 of the South's best and brightest musicians!

SOUTHSIDE vs. ETOWAH 3rd QUARTER MEAL REMINDER
Hello PRIDE This is just a friendly reminder that Thursday’s rehearsal will be the last chance for students to purchase a $5 3rd Quarter Meal from the PMA. The options are a hamburger, chips & a drink; or a Chic-fil-a sandwich, chips and a drink. Mrs. Marbut will be at the Bandroom after rehearsal to collect money. Only students who purchase a meal will be allowed to receive a PMA meal. *Students are encouraged to eat prior to our report time on game day. Please understand that students are not allowed to leave the band area during 3rd quarter due to the size of our program and the congestion of our stadium. Every member will receive bottled water throughout the game. ALSO: All Hornline members should bring $3 to school this week to purchase black gloves. Looking forward to a great performance! BEAT ETOWAH!!! Go PRIDE GO! Mr. Weaver Ms. Palmer The PRIDE is first and foremost a family. A safe place for our students to be together and support each other. Like all families, we have chores that need doing. Every member of The PRIDE has been assigned to a committee with a specific task or chore that the band needs to be done. The overall goal of student committees isn't just to accomplish certain goals, but rather to give each student a feeling of ownership in the band. There are three shifts or teams. Each week, teams will rotate responsibilities. Click below to view committee assignments: ![]()
