Good evening band families!
Band Camp
Band camp continues this week, but only in the afternoon. The students will meet Monday-Thursday from 4pm-7:30pm and Friday from 4pm-6pm.
Show N’ Tell
At 6pm on Friday August 7th, we will have our annual Show N’ Tell. The students will be giving us a sneak peak into what they have been working on this summer, including performing the first part of the show. We will also have a short band parent meeting. We encourage everyone to come out and join us at Show N’ Tell, it is always fun to see what the students have been working on. After the students are finished, we will be offering our hot dog dinner to families. For $5 you can get a hot dog, bag of chips, cookie and a bottle of water. The students do not have to purchase their meal, but if you would like to eat with them, please purchase your meal here before Tuesday August 4th so we know how many meals we need to provide.
Prop Building
Happy Sunday everyone,
First, thank you to everyone who came out and helped during Band Camp last week! Our crew made incredible progress, and we accomplished so much in a short amount of time. We truly couldn’t do this without all of your support.
As the band moves to afternoon rehearsals this week, our prop-building schedule will shift to 4:30–7:30 p.m. each evening.
Unfortunately, due to plumbing issues at Horizon, we are unable to access the Fieldhouse at the beginning of the week. Because of this, we will continue our builds at a house:
2611 E. 136th Place
Thornton, CO 80602
We plan to work at this address on:
- Monday, August 3: 4:30–7:30 p.m.
- Tuesday, August 4: 4:30–7:30 p.m.
- Wednesday, August 5: 4:30–7:30 p.m.
We are hopeful that we’ll be back in the Fieldhouse for our Thursday and Friday builds, and I’ll send out an update as soon as that is confirmed. Thursday’s build is the same 4:30-7:30 p.m. time frame, location TBD. Friday, the band’s Show and Tell starts at 6 p.m., so we’ll begin at 4:30 p.m. but ends a little before 6 p.m. to push a sample of our props for students and families to see.
We made great progress during Band Camp, but we’ve reached the point in the build where we really need all hands on deck. Right now, we’re working on building 13 Tesla coils and constructing the back wall for our stage. We have a lot to accomplish before the Show & Tell on Friday, August 7, so any help is greatly appreciated.
Even if you can’t commit to an entire evening, we’d love to have you stop by for an hour or two. Every bit of time helps, and there are tasks for all skill levels.
Thank you again for everything you’ve done to support our students and this program. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about this week’s schedule.
See you soon!

Thank you all who have helped out with our Amazon Wish List items. These are items that we will use throughout the marching season. If you would like to purchase an item to help out the band, please see our wish list. Many of the items are snacks that we take to football games and competitions, if you would like to donate snacks, but do not want to purchase off of Amazon, we are looking for pre-packaged items like Goldfish, Fruit Snacks, Cheese Its, etc… If you would like to donate snacks, you may have your student drop them off in Mr. Dailey’s office, or you may drop them off at the Show N’ Tell. Thank you so much for your help!
