Hello Viper Vanguard Family!
I hope this email finds you well. The kids did a wonderful job both in the stands and in the halftime show during the West Orange game on Friday. We received so many nice compliments from our West Orange friends and enjoyed a wonderful evening.
This week is our first competition week. We will perform at Tocoi Creek High School on Saturday in our first ever FFCC Outdoor festival event. A few things to consider if you are planning to make the trip (and it would be great to see a ton of LBV support there!), tickets must be ordered in advance at this link: FFCC Outdoor Tocoi Creek HS Tickets, Sat, Sep 28, 2024 at 3:00 PM | Eventbrite
We perform at 6:15 pm and are second on in a rather large classification of bands. It will be a great day! Make sure the kids have some money for concessions as we will have plenty of time to watch groups and eat after we perform. The schedule for Saturday is below:
