-The Grand Junction trip (Colorado West Marching Band Festival) is Sept. 25-26. The band will leave LHS early on Friday morning and travel to Grand Junction.

-The CBA Regional 5A Marching Band Event is Thursday, Oct.15th. The LHS Littleton Marching Band hosts this event and it is the biggest fundraiser for the band each year. It will require the help of nearly every band family in order for this to once again be a success. Additionally, we are required to have medical personnel on hand for the entire event. If you are licensed as a medical professional (ie: nurse, EMT, doctor, etc.), we could really use your help! Please email Nikki Sheeran at we5sheeran@comcast.net if you would be willing to donate a few hours providing first aid at this event. All other volunteers please sign up here: http://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0a4fa4a92ca57-host

-Pomona Fest Marching Competition is Saturday, Oct 3rd. A Signup Genius and more details will be sent out (hopefully) within the week.

-Do you have gently used coolers w/attached lids or easy-up canopy tents you’re not using? The band could really use a couple newer ones to use at parades and/or competitions. Please let Marsha Prokuski (cmprokuski@msn.com) know if you might have one you could donate to the band. Thanks!
