Marching Lions - Exciting News
Introducing…Katie Palmer, our new Director of the Marching Lions. This program has grown over the last five years, from not having any music in the stands on Friday nights in the Fall to having a full marching band exciting the crowd and cheering our team on to victory! We started with just a Drum Corps, then grew to add Winds and Color Guard, and two years ago began marching field formations for the first time. We have enjoyed halftime shows, pep rallies, local festivals with other schools, parades and more.
Last season we brought on Katie as an assistant to lead our winds, instruct our new drum major, and help teach drill. She stepped up to the plate, and her expertise was invaluable toward our end result of a successful Back to the Future show, and growth in this group as a whole. Next season she will be taking on more, and using her experience and expertise to take us to even higher levels. Here are a few sentiments from Katie, please welcome her as our new Marching Lions Director!!
"Outside of being a mom to 5 children and wife to my husband Patrick, my greatest passion is teaching, training, and equipping people and students to use their gifts to honor the Lord. I am humbled and excited to come alongside and lead the Marching Lions!"
"I’ve been given the chance to do some of the things that I love; music and speaking into the lives of students! We will encourage them, disciple them, and develop them to lead others as well. Hard work, dedication, discipline, and skill goes into developing a “Band of Excellence” but we’ll have lots of fun working together and make life-long friends along the way. Ultimately our GREATEST PURPOSE is for Jesus to be at the center of it all! I can’t wait for what the new season holds for us!" Colossians 3:23-24

INSTRUMENT REPAIR
We use Big Note Music for on site repair of many of our musical instruments. If you have an instrument that needs repair as the school year begins, this may be a great option for you. The process works with you filling out an online form, pre-paying for the repair, and then they come for a scheduled repair session right on our Trinity campus. Your student wouldn’t be away from their instrument except when it’s on the repair table. This convenient option has worked for us for a few years now. Simply fill out the online form and let us know that a repair has been scheduled.
