For the first time since 2009, Halifax Area School District competed in an Indoor Drumline competition today at Donegal High School. The students have spent every Saturday morning since January at the school learning their show, "Breaking Pojnt", just for today's show. They have worked incredibly hard!
Congrats on a great performance!
