We're still celebrating the Panther's win against Troy University! Even though we weren't able to be there in person, it doesn't mean we can't still finish it off with a little "Georgia on my Mind"! Christian Stephanos sent this intro for our last game's "alumni band" all the way from Kenai, Alaska! Post a video of you singing or playing along in the comments to finish the tune!

Although our Alumni Band looked a little different this year, it was still exciting to see so many familiar faces! Thank you to all of the Panther Band alumni that participated! We are looking forward to next year when we can all be on the field together again.

We're excited to share that the Panther Band Alumni Network and Panther Band directors, Dr. Phillips and Mr. Reid, will be hosting virtual reunions each Monday night in November. The Panther Band now has 10 years of history and would not be where it is today without those who laid the foundation for success. We wanted to create an opportunity to reconnect with you and give you a chance to reconnect with your fellow Panther Band alumni. We will share stories, photos, videos and some exciting updates! See the schedule below and make sure you mark your calendar for your reunion date and time! We hope to see you soon!

Our directors have gotten quite creative when trying to have a "band class" with social distancing. Dr. Robert Ambrose hosted a zoom session yesterday with four top-notch educators in the field- Christopher Ferrell, Wolson Gustama Jr., Matt Koperniak, and Myra King Rhoden. They spoke to our wind ensemble instrumental music education majors about the job application and interview process. Thank you, all, for the generous time and wisdom you shared! #TheStateWay

Chris Carr, Georgia State Bands alumnus, was recently awarded Teacher of the Year for Carrollton High School! Congratulations, Chris! #proudpost #TheStateWay
