It's hard to believe that there are only 11 more days left in the marching band season this year! Thank you so much to those of you that have dedicated so much time supporting the students this fall.

The next 2 weeks are quite busy for the marching band and we still need help if you are able to volunteer any time to help out at the following events:
10/20/2016 - CBA 5A Regional Competition - Our FUNDRAISER
Thank you to those that have signed up to work a shift or bring food for the judges. However, we still have many positions are not covered and desperately need more help to make this fundraiser a success! http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa4a92ca57-20165

Hello Lion Pride families,
Congratulations to your students on their continuing hard work and great performances, and best wishes for the remainder of the season!
As is tradition, we'd like to acknowledge the dedication of our wonderful staff with thank-you gifts from all of our families.

We hope to collect enough money to purchase smaller tokens of thanks for our techs--Joe Encinias (Drum Tech) and Ellaurah Ashby (Colorguard Tech)--who support our students and keep them in time, in step, and looking and sounding fabulous. We ask that all families contribute to these gifts, in whatever amounts they feel comfortable.
Nancy Egelhoff will be collecting funds and purchasing the gift cards. Your contributions in the form of cash or check (made payable to Nancy Egelhoff) may be:

Band Update (10/16/2016)
Monday, Oct 17 - CBA 4A Regional Competion at the Echo Park Stadium in Parker
(11901 Newlin Gulch Blvd - Chambers Rd & Newlin Gulch Blvd)
The band will perform at 9:00pm and the placement awards will be announced around 9:30pm. This is the most important competition of the season so far as the band will need to score well enough at this event to qualify to go on to the State Competition. The weather forecast is calling for some windy conditions, so we will most likely need volunteers to sit with the backdrops/scrims to keep them from blowing away! Please see this link for more info and to sign up: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa4a92ca57-20167
