Supporters of the Pride of Trion Marching Band have an opportunity to show their Trion pride with the band’s official 2026 show shirts, now available for presale.

The Pride of Trion Marching Band announced that orders are currently being accepted for this year’s show shirts, with an order deadline of August 28.

Band supporters are encouraged to place their orders before the deadline, as organizers say they cannot guarantee that additional shirts will be available once the ordering window closes.

All orders must be placed through the Trion High School Band Boosters website. The shirts feature artwork celebrating the Pride of Trion’s 2026 marching season and show.

The annual show shirts give students, parents, alumni and other supporters a way to represent the Pride of Trion throughout marching season while supporting the band program.

Those interested in purchasing a shirt should place their order online no later than Friday, August 28.
