Southern Bank has donated two customized canopy tents to the Poplar Bluff SHO-ME Marching Band. The pop-up tents will be set up between buses and used to provide shade for students getting refreshments during marching season so they do not overheat, according to band director Stephen Winters (center). Billy Hirtz, market retail manager (right), noted that Southern Bank has provided banking services for Poplar Bluff schools for the past eight years, and as a partner is ‘always willing’ to help out the district where there is a need.
