Glenn Band News - Festival of the Bands

October in Full Swing

Glenn Band Fans,

A big thank you to all of the parents and family members that came out to volunteer and to watch the band perform last Saturday at the Vista Ridge Marching Festival. It was a long day, but also a great opportunity for the band to perform in a "prime time" spot at Finals. They had their best show of the season so far at Finals, and we're looking forward to topping that performance tonight at Festival of Bands!

Here are our results from last Saturday:

Preliminary Competition Results

Note: Prelims scores are not made public, only class awards and finalist bands are announced.

Glenn Band:

5A Class Champions

5A Outstanding Visual Performance

5A Outstanding General Effect

Finals Competition Results

Note: In finals all bands (5A and 6A) compete "head-to-head" for placements.

Glenn Band:

3rd Place Overall Finals

1st Place Class 5A

Finals Score 83.2

This has been a memorable season for us, and we're grateful that the hard work of our kids is being recognized. See below for links to last Saturday's show, as well as a folder with our judge comments from prelims and finals.

Today we look forward to likely our busiest week of the entire year - the kids will be busy and tired, but we know they can do it! Please read on for more details, it's a great day to be a Grizzly!

Musically Yours,

Mr. Fig

March-a-Thon: Join us on Tuesday, October 4th!

As we head into the end of our fundraiser time, we want to share our results with you, our Glenn Band Fans! Please join us at Bible Stadium next Tuesday evening for a community performance. We would like to "show and tell" more about the show, to give you insight on what we are doing to help make our 2022 show feel truly "live and in living color".

We will have a normal rehearsal at 6:00pm, and we'll start some interactive community events at about 8:15pm. This will be a rehearsal in normal practice clothes for the students, but we'll be revealing our big winners for the fundraiser that evening and hope to see you there!
