It’s Show Time!

The 2011-2012 show production for the Legend Titan Band is coming together and this weekend the Titan Color Guard attended a make-up class that let them get a chance to try out the new show make-up for this year’s production. It took 2 separate classes to host all the girls!

Thank you to the Captain of the Color-Guard – Rae and her mom Mrs. Thomas for putting this great event together!

Can you say Hot! Hot! Hot!

The Legend Titan Marching Band Camp 2011 is well under way – and we don’t let a little (or a lot!) of hot weather get to us, but it sure was great today when some of the Band Booster Parents came up with a great way to cool off the Band Students by enlisting the help of the South Metro Fire Department!

Mrs. Thomas asked the Stroh Ranch Station to help cool the kids off during practice and they were more then happy to come out and soak the kids for a few minutes. While in formation, the kids would be get drenched with water and march when needed.

Diane with the Color Guard said “I did like it – it was very refreshing and I’m still drenched!” hours later.

Thank you South Metro Fire Station, Mrs. Thomas, Mrs. Farrar’s (for photos!) and the Band Booster Parents for making another fun memory at Band Camp!

From the Band Booster President

Legend Band Parents, I want to take this moment to mention a very special Thank You to Andy Thomson – one of our own Legend Band Booster parents. Andy has been able to raise approximately $8200 for our band program! Thanks to his ‘thinking outside the box’ attitude, he has been very successful reaching out to his contacts and requesting donations for our band.

Andy, thank you for your ‘can do’ attitude toward fundraising for our kids. Band Parents – Andy is proof that there are people & companies out there that are willing to donate to a public charity (Legend Band Boosters) even in these economic times. Many of these contacts can probably be found in your own personal Rolodex! So take a few moments and reach out to those you feel may be able to donate to our band!

Thank you – Rob
