Dear LHS "Pride of Littleton" Marching Band Parents,

I appreciate your willingness to give so richly of your time, energy and commitment to assist us with our Hosting of the CBA 5A Metro Regional and for their exceptional support of our performances at the CBA 4A Metro Regional this past Monday evening as well as their great work yesterday at the Arapahoe Marching Invitational. Our Band parents are an inspiration to me and our students. 

Thank you so much for your help, assistance and support.
Sincerely,

Details for Air Force Academy
Air Force Academy Stadium Map, Falcon Stadium, Schedule, Ticket prices
Parents need to be aware that there is a Security Check to get on the grounds of the Air Force Academy. It will take longer then many people expect or plan for. Also, there is a separate parking area that is a fair distance from where the buses and truck will be parking.

A note from "the food moms" Becky and Martha
Trumpet, Trombone, Tuba and Bari families--Here is your sign up genius for the quarterfinals meal at the Airforce Academy. If you received the hard copy please read this again because times, venue and food have all changed!!  Thanks so much for your help!!
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c094ca5ac2fab9-cbastate.  You can also find this information on the Littleton facebook page and we will be sending it to your email address as well!

We will be having the kids pack a lunch that we provide and take it on the bus with them to the competition.  This is due to the long distance from the bus area to the food area at the venue and also because of possible long waits through security. We will try to feed a heavy snack before they perform at 3:45 however it all depends on how long it takes to get through security.  It will be a long day for them so PLEASE have your child bring a water bottle, snacks and money they can use at the venue!!  If your child has a special need diet, please send snacks and proteins that they can eat in addition to the food we provide.  Thanks for your help!!

Share your Band Photos!
Nancy Eglehoff has set up a share site on Shutterfly for parents, staff, and students to view and share photos. You probably received an email inviting you to be “members” of the site, but all “visitors" and members will be able to view and add photos to the site, as well as download them to their computers or social media. It is set up as a “private” site and a password is required to access the site at the following link:
Site Name: Pride of Littleton -- LHS Marching Band 2017
Site URL: https://prideoflittletonmarchingband2017.shutterfly.com/
Site Password: Golhsband2017!

The goal is to include as many students as possible, and some of the photos I’ve uploaded are better than others, but hopefully there will be at least a few photos of every student on there by the end of the season. I’m sure some of the band parents are taking awesome photos!

State Photos order forms
You can Pre-order photos from the State Band Competition. Please see the documents regarding orders here: State photos info State photos form

Band fees can be viewed

Finally, Band fees have been assessed to each student's Infinite Campus account.  We appreciate having these band fees paid by mid-November so that we can settle all our accounts regarding the Marching Band activity.

Thank you so much for your help, assistance and support.
