In an ongoing effort to support the local community, the Venice Port Complex (VPC) recently donated a trailer to the South Plaquemines High School Band. The 6×12’
trailer will primarily be used to transport student band equipment to away games and parades.

“The new band trailer means a lot to our students as it is a sign that our business community cares about our school,” said Band Director Charles Pernici. “It is a much needed piece of equipment that will help us travel as we show school and community
spirit throughout South Louisiana.”

“I hope that the donation will encourage students to participate in the band and encourage other businesses to support the school as well,” said Tony Frickey, Site Supervisor of the VPC.
