This was such a special moment for two incredible men! #patriotnation 💙💛

Dear Friends,

Last night, I was honored to speak at Coach Mark Butts’ last home game after over 30 years of teaching and coaching First Colonial’s Varsity Basketball Team. Coach Butts is not only an extraordinary coach, but also a father figure to me and many other young men and women. It came as no surprise that so many alumni athletes and students came out last night to wish him well. And to make it even better, his team gave him one last W.
Happy Retirement, Coach Butts!
Thank you. #leadershipmatters

An incredible night to celebrate an incredible man!! Good Luck, Coach Butts!!

You are invited! Va. Wind Symphony - Concert Saturday, May 12, 2018 3:00 p.m. VPPA at Salem H.S. Free and open to the public Guest Conductor John R. Bourgeois, USMC (Ret.), was 25th Director of "The President's Own" United States Marine Band. His acclaimed career spanned nine presidential administrations, from Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower to Bill Clinton. As Director of "The President's Own," Bourgeois was Music Advisor to the White House. He selected the musical program and directed the band on its traditional place of honor at the U.S. Capitol for four Presidential inaugurations, a Marine Band tradition dating to 1801. He regularly conducted the Marine Band and the Marine Chamber Orchestra at the White House, appearing there more frequently than any other musician in the nation.
