All bands as a whole have given thier all these last few years. But that Tyner Marching band have come along ways from when Mr. Wynn, and Mr. Barber were directing it. I agree with Miss Vinson that Mr. Smith has brought back the soul in this band. Congrats Mr. Smith, and may you and the Marching Pride have a bright future. As an Alumni of Tyner Academy, previous drum-major, and member of 'The Aristocrat of Bands' at Tennessee State, I can honestly say that I am proud to see what they have become. Keep up the good work, and in hopes to see you all soon.
