The Gallatin High School Pride Band, under the direction of Gene Edwards, has been invited to perform at the AT&T Cotton Bowl, in Dallas, Texas from Dec. 29, 2007 to Jan. 2, 2008. This great honor comes with a lot of hard work and dedication.
The fall sports seasons are off and going and with that so is the start of fundraising for the Gallatin Athletic Booster Club.

Memberships this year will be $15 per family and $25 per business. For your membership you will be given an insulated mug to be used at the concession stand for a discount on coffee and hot chocolate refills.

Games August 20-28, 2007
Gallatin softball girls stayed perfect on the season with a pair of victories over the past week, including a win in Tuesday’s conference opener. Saturday’s Albany Tournament has been postponed due to heavy rains last Thursday and Friday.
Gallatin varsity golfers headed to Orrick Saturday with the idea of improving their scores from a year ago. Count it mission accomplished.
Gallatin school officials have found that about the only way to get a good, soaking August rain is simply to schedule a football jamboree at R-5 field.
Gallatin’s second try at holding a high school jamboree went the same way as the first attempt back in 2004 …rained out. The Bulldogs will look now to answer lingering questions about positional starters when they travel to Tarkio this Friday to face the Indians in the 2007 season opener.
