Since halftime is game time for the Spanish Fort band, that was the perfect time for a surprise donation from Alabama State Representative Matt Simpson.
Michelle Daughenbaugh was brought to midfield during intermission of the Toros’ Class 6A Region 1 game against McGill-Toolen not knowing what was coming. There, Simpson held a “Happy Gilmore” check worth $100,000 from the Baldwin County Legislative Delegation for the Fine Arts Department at Spanish Fort High School.
“This is an opportunity to bring your tax dollars back to the community where it belongs,” Simpson said to conclude the presentation. “Ladies and gentlemen, go Toros.”
The director and the band showed their shock before showing appreciation the best way they know how, by making music. The donation will go toward more new band uniforms and instruments for the Marching Toro Band.
