Get a Piece of Titan History
The North Oconee High School band has new uniforms and is selling the old ones as a fundraiser.

The band will be sporting new marching uniforms this fall. And because the new jackets have already arrived, band director Rob Akridge needs to make space for them. So, here’s the chance for band alumni, family and friends to get a piece of the multi-awarding winning Titan Regiment.
“We’re selling the old jackets for only $25 as a fundraiser,” Akridge said. “We wore these coats for seven years and you wouldn’t believe the wear and tear they’re exposed to,” he said.

Akridge said the hard working band booster club raised money for several years planning for this moment, and is already starting to save for future new uniforms.
