Paint Branch held its first Pep Rally of the 2016-17 school year on Friday. The event, which brought all four student groups together in the gym, was a raucous affair that had the students jumping and the band rocking.

After an introduction of all of the fall sports teams and a cheer performance, Head Football Coach Mr. Michael Nesmith addressed the crowd and thanked them for their strong support and asked them to continue it again this week in their battle against the Gaithersburg Trojans.

All-in-all, the first pep rally of the school year showed that one thing remains strong each and every year at PB: Panther Pride!
