The Marching Band had the honor of performing alongside the dance groups Code Red, The Ballers, and Royal Elite. Thanks to Code Red, the band even learned some dance moves to perform with them. Lastly, POMA is proud to have performed alongside the Pride of Mid-America alumni on their first Alumni Band Day in fifteen years! The Marching Band had a full, and fun, day of performing, and they are proud to have supported the Ball State football team on their win against Toledo on their 93rd Homecoming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Pride of Mid-America hopes to continue these traditions and we cannot do it without the loving support of our fans.
