UNITED STATES AIR FORCE ACADEMY — Colorado's state marching band championship competitions started Friday, running through Monday. The event brings together students from across the state to share in the experience of live music.
Participating students said they had spent months preparing for this weekend's competition, many committing themselves to up to 20 hours a week of practice and rehearsal. Despite the countless hours of practice, parents and performers alike said they were nervous to take the field and stands. Many marchers said the experience was the best they had ever had, and they anticipate they will continue to perform and remain close to those they perform with for the rest of their lives.
