Everyone needs to arrive at Wheat Ridge by 6:45 in full uniform. We will make sure everyone has a ride and then leave at 7. Please make sure to bring lots of warm clothes, as it is usually cold and windy at the Budweiser Events Center. Once we arrive we will unload and check in. We will know if we make finals around 11.

After we are done performing, we will load the trailer and then everyone is free to watch groups on their own. At 9:15, everyone needs to meet back up to go inside and watch the remainder of the performances together. Everyone needs to sit together in the stands. Around 10:00, there will be an announcement telling everyone where to go to get in order for full retreat. After retreat, I will come and talk with everyone and then you are free to go home.

Winter Guard state still on; no rehearsals March 26

Hello Everyone!

Congratulations to all the students for the wonderful concert last night! You should be very proud of your student's accomplishments.

In light of the snow and canceled school today, there will be no Winter Guard or Winter Percussion rehearsal this afternoon. The schedule for Winter Guard state is still the same, however, and is copied below if you are interested in coming out to support the girls.

Thanks!

Need student help this Sunday for poker tournament

Hello All!

This is a reminder to all parents and students that we have our poker tournament fundraiser this Sunday starting at 10:00 AM at Stan's Caravan on West 44th Avenue in Wheat Ridge. We still need some student volunteers to help us out through the day. There is a sheet in the band room that your students can sign up on. Remember, this is to help us on our journey to Ireland as well as keep our program going in these difficult economic times.

Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing all of you at the concert next week!
