SUMMARY: On October 12, high school marching bands in Mississippi competed at the MHSAA and MBA Regional State Marching Evaluation across five locations. Bands were judged in areas such as drum major, color guard, and percussion, using a three-level rating scale. To qualify for the 2024 Marching Championships, bands needed an overall superior score, requiring at least two judges to rate them as superior. In the Region 1 competition at Tupelo, 33 bands performed, with 25 receiving superior ratings. Separate championship events for various classifications will be held throughout late October and November. Community support and unity among bands were emphasized.

SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings. Additionally, a slow-cooker macaroni and cheese recipe, which can also be prepared in advance, has become a crowd favorite. Both dishes save time and provide delicious comfort for holiday meals. May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
