Even through our masks, you can see how happy we are to be back supporting our Deacs!
Our first full day of Band Camp has come to a close. A little (a lot) different than in the past but with the same @demondeacons spirit! 🎩 And EVERYONE BE SMART. Wear your mask, please. We will only make this semester happen TOGETHER. 🙏🏼 #SOTOGAB #GoDeacs #ACCBands #WFUmusic #WFU24
