This Week at SBEC

This week was amazing! In Bible we are learning about other world cultures and my teacher, Coach Duggin, makes it so interesting. Coach Duggin really takes the time to connect with his students and I learn so much in his class. Also, Geometry was challenging this week but we were allowed to work in groups so everyone helped each other. On the sports side, being in the band and on the cheer squad this week was filled with excitement! On Friday, we had a home game and a pep rally. The cheer squad worked hard all week to have an amazing pep rally. Later that evening, the football team won their last regular season game and qualified for the state football playoffs.

The most exciting event of the week was the BANDMASTERS competition at the Liberty Bowl Stadium!! Our band director, Mr. Berryhill, is remarkable at what he does. We came in tenth out of 37 bands and won most outstanding percussion. Immediately after we finished our performance and walked off the field, the band members cheered and laughed because we performed so well at the competition. It was such an incredible feeling! Performing at the Liberty Bowl Stadium at night with so many fans was mind blowing!

The best part about the band is not the exciting pep band days, or the performance day, but the family atmosphere. As a freshman I was nervous about being in the band with all of the older students, but they welcomed me and made all the freshmen feel a special part of the band. They treated us as family. I can’t wait till next week! It’s spiritual emphasis week; my favorite week here at SBEC.
