Salt Lake Valley Review

Tuesday evening (Oct. 4th) is the Salt Lake Valley Review.  This is where all the high school bands in the Salt Lake Valley come together to perform for each other, since they don't get to watch each other a lot of the time at competitions.  This event is free of charge, so invite all of your friends and family.  It is held at Bingham High School.

Since the kids go straight from practice, you will want to either send them with food or money to buy dinner at the food trucks.  The kids will be taking buses to Bingham High.

Uniform for this performance is as follows:

  • Blue fall t-shirt
  • Long jeans (no capris or shorts)
  • Long black socks
  • Black marching shoes
If it's chilly, the kids may want to wear a long sleeve shirt underneath their fall shirts for warmth.  Jackets will not be allowed on while they perform.

Our kids will perform around 6:40.

Hope to see you there!
