**Local Students Treated to Lunch at Band Gala Practice**

Casa Grande Elementary School District shared their gratitude towards Salt River Project for generously providing lunch for their band students during Band Gala practice. As part of the effort, Little Caesars on Florence Boulevard supplied 145 pizzas to feed the students.

The Vista Grande Marching Band Boosters, along with students from @vghs_colorguard and @vghsmarchingband, lent a hand in serving the food to their fellow participants. The school community is gearing up for the Casa Grande Public School Band Gala, which is set to take place tonight at 6:30 PM at Vista Grande High School.

The Band Gala promises to be a lively event showcasing local student talent, with everyone invited to attend.
