FINE ARTS FESTIVAL

Well done to all of our students who participated in the Georgia District Fine Arts Festival, hosted right here on the TCS campus. We had students participate in solo events such as male and female vocal solo, guitar solo, worship leading solo, and song writing. And we had groups perform as well, including instrumental duet, large and small group worship teams, and our national superior rated “Fire and Rimstones” from our Drum Corps. Below is a list of the State Merit Winners, with the highest score in the state for their category. Way to go Lions, you represented us well! And now, on to nationals in August. Orlando bound…

DRUM CLUB

We have just completed our first annual TCS Drum Club season. This group consisted of 5th through 9th graders, and was SO MUCH FUN! The students learned about different drumming genres from bucket ensembles, to ancient African drumming circles, to contemporary ensemble drumming. We concluded with a parent performance, where all of the parents were participants. Parents, we hope your chopsticks were as much fun for you as our drums were for us. Special thanks to Dr. Kathy Brown! Here’s to a bright future for TCS drumming, and continuing to build the Arts at Trinity! Go Lions!

PERFORMING ARTS AWARDS NIGHT

Mark your calendars! New this year, we will be having our first annual Performing Arts Awards Night on Thursday, April 21st at 7pm. This will be a special event where we will honor our star students in each of our groups, including Band, Orchestra, Chorus, Theatre and Marching Lions. Join us as we pull out the red carpet. More info to come…

MIDDLE SCHOOL DRUM CORPS

The Middle School Drum Corps has become a highlight for 6th through 8th graders. This is the training ground for our future Varsity Drum Corps members once these students reach High School, and is a lot of fun! We rehearse and then perform at all Middle School home football games.

This summer we plan to rehearse as middle school only (not together with the Varsity Corps). We will have a separate set of dates this summer to prepare for the upcoming season. More information to come. Interested? Please fill out the form below:

VARSITY MARCHING LIONS - MATERIALS & AUDITIONS

We are continually expanding our Marching Band, including Winds, Drum Corps and Color Guard. This year we plan to meet with students May 4-6 for a number of reasons as we plan the 2022 Marching Lions season:

Auditions for instrument placement in the Drum Corps
Uniform fittings to get our uniform orders in sooner
Materials in each student’s hands to prepare for camp and the season
Brush up on our Color Guard fundamentals
A full schedule of the summer and into the fall season

Please plan to join us after school on March 4, 5 and 6, daily from 3:30-5:00pm, to have everything you need in place for a successful marching season!

VARSITY MARCHING LIONS - SUMMER BAND CAMP

Each summer we host our annual Marching Lions Band Camp. This is for all students participating in the Varsity Marching Lions, and includes Drum Corps, Pep Band and Color Guard. Please submit the Google Form (link below) to reserve your student’s spot. We are growing, and have lots of exciting surprises in store for the 2022 marching band season. Sign up today!!
