District supporters, faculty, and community members have rallied behind the team, celebrating a landmark achievement that elevates Kosciusko’s fine arts tradition to unprecedented heights.Much of the credit for this success goes to the exceptional leadership guiding the program. Special recognition goes to Percussion Director Mr. James Long, section leaders Nick Carter, Lizzy Hill, and Jackson Hearn, and Head Band Director Mr. Jesse Yates, whose vision, mentorship, and tireless work ethic laid the foundation for a banner marching season.To honor the talented student musicians for their record-breaking season, the Kosciusko Band Booster Club will host a special celebration party on Monday, November 16, 2026. The gathering will feature a pizza meal and commemorative keepsakes designed to celebrate the students’ hard work and historic accomplishment.Community members, alumni, and local businesses who would like to contribute toward the celebration keepsakes and meal are welcome to support the effort.Donations can be mailed to the Kosciusko Band Booster Club at Post Office Box 1115, Kosciusko, MS 39090, or you can contact Band Treasurer Jessica at 662-792-6689 for alternative ways to give.Submitted by JESSICA HEARN.</div></body>
