🖤💚💛❤️ Happy Juneteenth! 🖤💚💛❤️

Juneteenth, also known as Emancipation Day or Freedom Day, is the date that celebrates the end of slavery in America and the beginning of a life of freedom for African-Americans living in America.

On January 1st, 1863, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation into law announcing: “That all persons held as slaves are, and henceforward shall be free.” However, it wasn’t until two years later that all enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were actually freed on June 19th, 1865.

“Juneteenth has never been a celebration of victory or an acceptance of the way things are. It’s a celebration of progress. It’s an affirmation that despite the most painful parts of our history, change is possible—and there is still so much work to do.” – Barack Obama

Reminder: City offices and the Public Library will be CLOSED Monday, June 22nd in observance of Juneteenth. Offices will reopen on Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:15am.

🥁📢 This Saturday 📢🥁

For the past several weeks, we have received reports of mysterious sounds echoing across town.

“Is it thunder?” ⛈️
“Is it a herd of elephants?” 🐘
“Has Jumanji been released again?” 🎲🌴
“Why do I hear drums in my sleep?” 😅

Good news… the mystery is now solved!

The Music City Drum Corps has been practicing at White House High School BDP and now they are inviting the entire community to a FREE Friends & Family Show on Saturday, June 20 at 8:30 PM at Dewey H. Whitson Stadium!

Come see (and hear) the incredible talent behind all those booming drumlines, brass blasts, and synchronized performances that have had everyone wondering what was happening across town.

🍦 The White House High School Band of Pride will have concessions available before the show, including:
🥤 Drinks
🍫 Candy
🥔 Chips
🍦 Ice Cream

So instead of listening from your backyard and wondering if you are living in the next Jumanji sequel, come experience the full show in person!

Let’s pack the stands, support these amazing performers, and give them a White House welcome they will never forget! 🎺🥁🎶
