Legend Parents/Boosters have a great day…

…hosting the CBA 1a 2a 3a State Marching Championships at our District Sports Authority Stadium. The parents received nothing but glowing and amazing kuddos from visting Directors / Parents / Spectators and CBA Band Officials. During the next 2 years the 1a 2a 3a event will rotate to Pueblo and Grand Junction and then back to Legend’s Sport Authority Stadium in 2014.

Thanks Parents!You Represent Legend Well!

Legend Drum Line keeps the beat for 1a 2a 3a…

…The Legend Drum Line, was asked by CBA to be the Cadence Percussion Line on Monday night. The Drum Line had the unique honor of playing in all of the Finals 1a 2a and 3a bands at the conclusion of the state contest for the Full Retreat. The Drum Line was led on the field by Percussion Instructor Tohbias Juniel and Percussion Captain Ryan O.

The Drum Line played for 21 straight minutes continuosly without stopping or missing a beat until the last band was on the field!

The Legend Drum Line is graduating 8 seniors in its inagural senior graduating class.

Congrats Drum Line!

Volunteer Help Needed!

Tonight the CBA (Colorado Bandmasters Association) will be hosting the CBA 1A 2A 3A State Championships festival at the Sports Authority Stadium in Parker, Colorado!

We still need a few bodies to help out tonight (4-5 people will be a big help!)!!

Legend Band Boosters are in charge of Concessions and will be helping in a few other areas. While parents mostly will be involved in this event-some (minimal) help from Legend Band (Upper-Class) students will be needed!
If you are a parent or Upper-classman band student and interested in volounteering please check-in by 5:45pm tonight at the Sports Authority Stadium in Parker, Colorado and go near the concessions stands to meet with Suzette Farrar. Don’t forget to wear your Legend Blue!!
