THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU are not enough in words to tell you how grateful that I am for each of you that helped out in anyway with our invitational yesterday! It was a great representation of the "Pioneer Spirit" and how we do it at Gibson County! I got many compliments from band directors, parents, and spectators about how we run our contest! I tried to find many of you through out the day or at the end of the night to tell you "Thank You" for volunteering yesterday. If I missed you please know I am very thankful for your hard work and dedication to make our competition a success yesterday! MANY MANY THANKS TO EACH OF YOU!
