The Cherry Creek High School Marching Band will be out of town November 28 thru December 2nd.
The Bruins will be in Los Angeles again this year to help mark the beginning of holiday celebrations at Anaheim California’s Disneyland theme park. But the band will return to Denver in time to offer another stellar performance in Denver’s annual Parade of Lights festivities on Dec. 5 and 6.
“It’s an honor to be selected for either of these performances,” said Band Director Tim Libby. “I’m very proud of our students and the incredible dedication they’ve displayed all year long.”
These final parade appearances will bring to a close what has been an outstanding marching season.
The Cherry Creek HS Marching Band made the finals in the Colorado Marching Band Championships, last month at Invesco Field.
It’s been a busy year for members of the band. In addition to the Marching Band Championships, they also competed in the Arapahoe, Douglas County and Pomona Invitational Marching Festivals, they’ve performed at Cherry Creek High School’s Spirit Day, Homecoming Pep Rallies, of course home football games.
“We set our goals high,” said senior Drum Major Sebastian Adams, “but the most important thing is that we walk off the field knowing we had a good show and a good season
At Cherry Creek High School, marching band is an extracurricular activity – a club, not a class – which is different from many metro area high schools. Band Director Tim Libby says that’s why the Creek band is so strong musically.
We certainly wish them well, and look forward to next season.
