Our two-week Camp Odyssey, for Gifted and Talented students grades Kindergarten through 6th from North Brooks Elementary and Quitman Elementary, concluded today! The camp participants hosted a showcase to share their research projects. The theme for the camp this year was "Farming and Agriculture," and the students presented projects on various farm animals or equipment. Mrs. Candace Brasington and Mrs. Christine Hiers were the coordinators for the camp. It was a great experience for all involved!


The Brooks County Empire of Sound Band would like to extend our sincere appreciation to Home Depot for generously donating 32 cases of water and to C Tech Water Solutions for donating 4 additional cases to help keep our students hydrated during this year's Band Camp! 💧☀️
Preparing for marching season takes hard work, dedication, and support from our community. Because of the generosity of partners like these, our students can focus on learning, growing, and making incredible music.
We truly couldn't do this without the support of our local businesses and community members. Thank you for investing in our students and helping make Band Camp a success!
Please join us in thanking Home Depot and C Tech Water Solutions for their generosity! 👏💙
