A huge THANK YOU to everyone who made Saturday's invitational a success! To everyone who came to the event to support our band, to the bands and schools who participated, to the EK staff who prepped and worked the event, and especially to our AMAZING volunteers, some of whom worked all day!

Also thank you to our event sponsors Bennett Travel (gold sponsor) and The Alexander-Warnshuis Family (bronze sponsor).

It was a great day, and we couldn't have done it without all of you!

Last call / desperate plea for volunteers! For the invitational tomorrow, we especially need help with concessions (4:00 - 8:00 - you can still see the Kentwood performance), pit crew (10:30 - 3:30), and ushers (11:30 - 4:00), and there a few other openings as well. Even if you can't do the full shift, we will take whatever help we can get! Grandparents / other family members welcome! Sign up at:
