FINE ARTS LAUNCH MEETING
MARCHING LIONS NEWS
October is packed full of all things Marching Lions. The students have worked so hard and now not only do we get to share that with our Friday night football family, but it’s competition season as well!
Tuesday September 30th The Marching Lions performed at the Coweta County Expo at East Coweta High school along with many of our other local bands. It was a night of great support for the band community and allowed the students a chance to show off what they have worked so hard to achieve.
Saturday October 4th
The Superbowl Of Sound Marching Band Competition
We are so proud of our Marching Lions and how well they did at their first competition of the year! This past weekend our Marching Lions took the field to represent Trinity well. Competing against more bands in their class then ever before, they placed 3rd in their class. They also took home 2nd place in Drum Major, Percussion and Colorguard.
WAY TO GO MARCHING LIONS!!
We are looking forward to our second and final competition of the season on October 25th. March the Plank in Zebulon, GA at Pike County High School. See you there!

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, 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.
