Former Marching Pride members surprise retiring director

Sometimes, the smallest acts of encouragement can make the biggest impact on others.

Throughout his 25 years as a band director, Dr. Robby Glasscock served hundreds of students at Southside Middle School and Tallassee High School. Many of his students went on to pursue music in college, and several attribute their accomplishments to Glasscock’s encouragement.
