Passion guard members along with some members of The Pride attended TJC’s Game Day experience with the Tyler Junior College Apache Band.
Overall we had a great experience and it allowed our members to get a feel of how college bands perform! (May have even inspired some to think about attending TJC after high school!)
We even saw some previous PT band members in the TJC Apache band!
The performance was amazing and we had a great time performing for TJC’s audience!✨
Same time next year?👀
