The Horizon Bands are going to IRELAND!
After a lot of consideration and working with our travel company, AdvantEdge Tours, we finally locked in a destination and price for a trip to march in the Internationally Recognized St. Patrick’s Day Parade in Dublin, Ireland! This will be an 8 day trip with 6 nights in Ireland, traveling around the country and participating in the parade and other performance opportunities.
This is open to all Band, Color Guard, and Choir students for March 2025. Legacy Band will also be attending the parade and we are excited about the representation for Adams 12 and Colorado!
