AHS Band

The Arp Tiger Pride Marching Band has been working diligently these last few weeks. If
you’re in the Junior High you might even hear them from your classes while they’re out
on the field. To fill in those who aren’t in band, here’s some information you may want to
know. The show this year is called Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde written by Randall
Standridge. The show pays homage to the characters made famous by author Robert
Louis Stevenson in his short story. From the low tubas to the highest flute, the Arp Tiger
Pride Marching Band works hard everyday making their best better so that they can
present a show for the masses to enjoy at every game and to wow the judges at contest.

FFA

12 Arp FFA Members attended the 94th Texas FFA State Convention in Fort Worth this past July.
Here we were recognized for receiving our Golden Horizon Award in the Bronze category, six
members received the highest degree in the state; the Lonestar Degree, and Reed Thorn
received one of the highest honors of all in the FFA; 2022 Texas FFA American Star in Farmer. (He
will compete at nationals for this award.)

We also had an officer retreat where the chapter officers were able to plan out the chapter's year,
set goals for the chapter, and enjoy a team building activity; Spaghetti Cook-off. Marissa and
