Emma Grace Morrow 2008-2015

Tuscola’s performance at North Henderson was especially meaningful to the entire band. Absorbing the shock of losing a friend and shedding tears throughout the week, the band recognized the passing of Emma Grace Morrow by wearing red ribbons throughout the day and dedicated the performance to her. Emma Grace, you are with us in our hearts. We love you and we will always remember you.
