ARDREY KELL MIGHTY KNIGHT BAND TAKES TO THE FIELD

The Ardrey Kell Mighty Knight Band, under the direction of Larry Shane, hit the field for their first halftime performance on October 20th.  After working hard to build a new band, the energetic members of the band were proud to march onto the playing field at halftime of the Ardrey Kell-South Meck football game.  The Mighty Knights performed an energetic set, highlighted by a saxophone solo from drum major Ryan Redd.  The packed house of Ardrey Kell fans gave the band a loud round of applause to recognize their hard work over the last few months.

Ryan Redd, a junior, is a very accomplished musician and performed well in his role as drum major.

“It was great to get on the field, a lot of the members were nervous, but we had a great time,” Ryan said. “With the leadership we have in place, this band will be one of the best in Charlotte in just a couple of years.”

Chelsie Kwah, a junior, was excited to perform for the fans.

“I have never been this excited about starting a band before.  We were all nervous, but it felt great to be out there performing.”

The South Charlotte Sports Report recognizes all the hard work by the Ardrey Kell Mighty Knight Band and we send our wishes for a successful future!
