For the Pride of Cove band and color guard, the annual band banquet is the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work. That hard work included the band’s August “9-to-9” camp, during which retiring head band director, Randy Kelley, has the students march over, and over, and over again as they learn the steps to their fall show. It includes early mornings of practice, the late-night return from varsity football games throughout the fall, not to mention playing their tunes repeatedly until their skill level enabled all three bands to earn straight “1” ratings in the UIL competition earlier this spring.
