Capturing the Moment- In light of COVID-19, Mr. Norris put together a virtual concert that included every band member. The virtual band concert went about as well as I could have hoped for, Mr. Norris said. It led well into my goodbye speech, which allowed me to let everyone know what I appreciate about them and what I will miss. Many students stayed in the zoom meeting for an hour afterwards, and we just talked about memories. Mr. Norris will leave Gretna with two consecutive state title under his belt.

The Pembertons consistently bike throughout the year at many different destinations.
