Hello Band Families!
Thank you all for your incredible support over the past few weeks at football games, the parade, and during rehearsals! The props look AMAZING, and our students have been working incredibly hard. They’ve now completed their show on the field! We’ll continue refining and perfecting the show to ensure it’s performance-ready for Saturday’s Monarch Marching Festival competition. Here are the important details for the upcoming weeks:
WINDS ONLY- CMEA Rehearsal 9/18
3:30-5:30 pm- We have sectional coaches coming in to really dig into the music and help the students, so this is an important rehearsal to be at!
Reminder: Our CMEA performance is scheduled for February 1st at 11:00 am. We will be staying at the Broadmoor Hotel on January 31st! I will have more information once we solidify the plan for the meals, rehearsal spaces, and what all will be included on the trip.
Reschedules All Heroes Game 9/19
The game starts at 6:00 pm. The students call is 5:30 pm, we’ll walk over to the game, play some pep band songs, play the star spangled banner, and then we will be done. This is just a volunteer commitment but we’re hoping to have a large group to show our support of the SPED department teaming up with the football team! Students are welcome to stay for the rest of the game, but we will only play at the beginning.

Horizon Band Showcase 10/12
To kick off the night, we will have the In-N-Out food truck at Horizon for the “tailgate” event. Starting at 4 p.m., they will serve a meal that includes a hamburger, potato chips, and a drink. To get a meal, you MUST purchase a ticket. If your student wants a meal, they also need to purchase a ticket.
Each ticket costs $5 ($5.25 if paying via Venmo or PayPal). For every ticket your student sells, $3.75 will be credited to their student account.
Please use the Google form below to pre-purchase your tickets. Starting on Monday, September 23rd, during the evening rehearsal, you can pay for and pick up your tickets. Be sure to keep your tickets safe until the event, as we cannot replace lost tickets.
