Lined up on dots, the new band sets down the props for their competitive show. Though the show is a secret at the moment. There is a community performance on Thursday Sept. 12, starting at 7:30 p.m. The band will be competing at Grand Nationals, which is one of the biggest competitions in the nation which they got 11th place in 2022 with their show "Sit Down Stand Up."

As the Mighty Eagle Band prepares for another year, the program began its annual camp July 17. The camp consisted of two full weeks of learning how to march, play music, memorize the music, perform drill and much more. Each day started at 7:30 a.m. on the practice marching field and went until 11:30 a.m. After that, they have a break until 12:30 p.m., which is when music block starts. The music block ends at 3:00 p.m., and the band is sent home to eat dinner and rest until the next part of the camp at 6:30 p.m. The final block ends at 8:30 p.m., when the band is sent home for the night. The band has been working hard for this marching season, and it will be performing at all of the varsity football games. There will be a community performance at the Reynolds Middle School stadium tonight at 7:30pm.

Focused on students, Mayor David Bristol and Prosper ISD school board vice president Dena Dixon showcase their duties to the government classes. The students learned about the obstacles faced in the town council, and got more insight to Bristol's job. "The town facilities, the municipal services that we have, this is not normal," Bristol said. "People come to this area. In the last five years, a lot of you guys moved here for the school district, specifically.  Your parents brought you here so you can go to the ISD. That is not the same. There are not people clamoring to go to some of this districts to the south of us. So, we have something unique and special here, and I want to continue that."
