Our first competition is this Saturday at Hillsboro Stadium. For some, this is your first experience with what we call Marching Band Festivals! Festival days are so much fun but are a full day event. Below you will find information to help guide and keep you informed with what will happen this week to prepare for this event and the actual event day. Our booster group and Marching Band VP will also send out information to support you and your student. Also check out the Sunset Classic site CLICK HERE
