Thanks to the Band and Cheerleaders From Adair County Schools Athletics We would like to extend a huge thank you to the band and cheerleaders. They have played a pivotal role in creating the best atmosphere at John Burr Gymnasium as they supported both basketball teams since Meet The Indians. The dedication and passion Mr. Holmes, Mr. Pharis, Coach McQueary, Coach Booher, and Coach McGaha exude rubs off on their student-athletes and their performances prove it. The Band and Adair County High School Cheerleading squad learned new songs, cheered proud, played loud, and performed in many moments to create the best experience for fans at games. If you see coaches, a band member, or a cheerleader, thank them for their unwavering support and their resurgence of school spirit. 2025-03-27 21:05:29 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
