Harrison Central High School Band lost one of its trailers. Ironically it was donated to the band after Hurricane Katrina.

We pray that all of our band families were safe through Hurricane Zeta.

This year continues with twists and turns.... But cannot keep The Pride of the Coast down!

See you Monday night for our Homecoming and Senior Night festivities.

October seems to be the month for birthdays at Harrison Central! Let's wish our Percussion Captain, Amante', a very happy happy birthday!

The legend is celebrating his birthday! We couldn't be more proud of this man and blessed to have him still with us after all these years.

Not only is he Harrison Central Band Alumni (he played tuba), but he was the Head Band Director here at HC for years! He is currently the Music Director for the Harrison County School District and we are lucky enough to have him as our Color Guard Director.

A happiest of birthdays to the one and only Dwight Hollingsworth!!!!
