HORIZON BANDS

Good morning band families, 

We hope everyone is getting some much needed rest from a busy Homecoming weekend. The band had a great performance at both the football and parade, they are always a fan favorite!

This email is long, but has all the information you need for the festival, please read this message in its entirety.

We have our first competition on Saturday, September 27th. This is the Legacy Marching Festival held at the Adams 12 Five Star Stadium at 9351 Washington St., Thornton, CO 80229. We need A LOT of help for festivals, please read through this and see if you are able to assist. Each type of volunteer is only a commitment for this specific event, and we will put out a call for volunteers for each following event, festival, or parade. Intrepid parents can try all sorts of different things during the Marching Band season leading up to State Finals. 

– We are in need of 2 more chaperones, please know that there is a lot of walking at festivals. If you can chaperone, sign up here: Chaperone Sign Up

– We are in need of 2 more people to help out with the Hawk Haulers, if you would like to help out with pit crew, sign up here: Hawk Hauler Sign Up

– We will be feeding the students lunch and dinner (if they make finals, which I’m guessing they will, they are doing great!) We need people to provide food, help serve, and help tear down. Please sign up to help with food: Legacy Meal Train

**IMPORTANT NOTE***: Please ensure your student has sunscreen, a hat, sunglasses, a water bottle, and layers. After they perform, they will watch other bands. It can get hot during the day sitting in the bleachers. We are outside all day, and they will need to refill water bottles multiple times throughout the day. 

Saturday Schedule:

8:00am – Rehearsal

11:00am – Band departs for stadium

1:30pm – Horizon’s Performance

4:30pm – Prelims awards

5:30pm – Finals begins

9:15pm – Finals awards

FYI: We will find out if the band makes Finals and what time their final performance will be at the Prelims awards. We will post the Finals information on our social media once we know their performance time.

Important Festival Information

Adams12 School District has implemented a CLEAR BAG policy for all stadiums
including Five Star Stadium. Similar to other stadium and sporting events each entrant
will be allowed only one 12”x12”x6” clear bag. Backpacks, coolers, duffle bags, camera
bags, etc. will not be allowed. Refillable water bottles will be permitted as will re-entry to
the venue. Details of this policy can be found at: Adams 12 Stadium Information

Spectator vehicles must park in one of the spectator parking lots west of Washington Street. Please only park in the designated spectator lots, not the surrounding neighborhoods as we had several calls from irate neighbors about their driveways being blocked. Legacy is recommending you arrive at least 1 hour prior to the band’s performance.

The Concessions stand will be open all day and is located on the southwest side of the stadium. Please see the price list below for further details and payment options. The festival will also have spirit wear, programs, and patches available for purchase directly behind the press box (via cash or credit card, no ATM on site).

The information below comes from the Festival organizers.
