See how the UGA Redcoat band paid tribute to Apalachee High School

The University of Georgia’s Redcoat Band paid a heartfelt tribute to Apalachee High School during the Northeast Georgia Marching Exhibition at Cedar Shoals High School last Tuesday.

The event, marked by emotional performances by high school bands in the Athens area, came in the wake of a shooting tragedy at Apalachee on Sept. 4 that killed two students and two teachers.

The Apalachee High School band took the field for the first time since the tragedy and delivered a powerful performance that earned them a standing ovation.
