    Watching the Tate Show Band on Friday nights is truly a treat. Although I’ve seen the show numerous times it never gets old. This years show is one of my favorites, I can relate to the music very well…a little rock and roll!!!! The movements are a joy to watch also. Last year when you decided to do the little extra Party Rock thing was a lot of fun to watch too. The students in the band are exceptional and intelligent kids that work very hard all year both on and off the field.

    Congratulations on your victory in Theodore. With all of the hard work that goes into these performances there will plenty more victories in the future. I’d like to also thank the support system of the band. You are hard working group. The band is truly blessed to have you behind them.

    The future of Tate band is bright. I look forward to seeing the 2013 show….maybe this time a little Van Halen or Aerosmith!!!!

    Awesome!! This is one of my favorite shows musically. Not as complicated on the choreography, but still enough to be fantastic and amazing!
