Dear Viking Marching Band Parents,

Congratulations again to the Vikings for their third consecutive 5A wins for both band and color guard, plus a second place in percussion at Hart Rampage!

This is going to be a busy week. First we have this tournament on Thursday, then we have another on Saturday — you'll get a separate schoolbus email for that one.

Friday , there will be NO 7 am rehearsal. For the evening rehearsal (5-8 pm), please wear your navy blue "retro"/football shirt, so you can get your royal blue practice shirt in the wash before Saturday's comp.

Thursday , students will only miss 6th period, NOT 5th period, as previously stated. Please see Thursday's itinerary, plus packing list and performance times, at this link.
