Thunder Valley Band Parents,
Our 6th grade band has the privilege this year of performing at our Veteran’s Day Tribute at Thunder Valley.  The Flatirons Jazz Orchestra, one of the premier big bands in the area will be joining our students for the performance.  Students will need to arrive no later than 5:45PM on Tuesday, November 11th to set-up and to watch the flag ceremony with the playing of Taps outside at the front of our school at 6:00PM.  After the flag ceremony, the 6th grade band students will come back into the building to prepare for our tribute performance with the Flatirons Jazz Orchestra.  It is sure to be a wonderful tribute for our veterans.

Band students will need to arrive the evening of the performance wearing black dress pants, dress shoes, and an undershirt for their music polo’s to be worn over.
