Hello Everyone,

We're getting closer and closer to our first competitive show (beginning Sept. 30th at Caldwell High School)! Accordingly, we have some rehearsals planned to finish building the show over the next couple of weeks. 

Due to some of the activities on campus being rescheduled (because of the unforeseen weather of the past few weeks), we have made some adjustments to when these rehearsals will occur. Thank YOU for flexibility and understanding in this situation. Below is a list of ALL rehearsals leading up to Caldwell:

Tonight 9/14 Rehearsal 5-8pm

Tues 9/19 Rehearsal 5-8pm
Thurs 9/21 Football Game 6pm call time
Fri 9/22 Rehearsal on football field 3-7pm
Sat 9/23 Rehearsal 11-2pm

Tues 9/26 Rehearsal 5-8pm
Thurs 9/28 Rehearsal 5-8pm
Sat 9/30 Caldwell Competition (estimated call time 10:30am- true performance time TBA) Plan on students being involved likely until 7pm (competitions are essentially all day events)

DCI 2017

​Thank you!

I just wanted to put a note out to thank all the people who made 2017 Drum Corps Show possible on Tuesday night. After months of preparation, the show was a huge success and brought in thousands of people from all over Idaho and many other western states as over 1,200 participants took the field in Kuna.

So many people collaborated to make the event possible and I must recognize the fact that these individuals went out of their way to make sure that every facet of the show was a success (and in no specific order):
  • Kuna High School custodians, especially Robert and Joanna
  • Kuna Middle School custodians, especially Bret and Pasqual
  • Kuna School District employees, especially Wendy, Kevin, Ben, David, Cheryl and Jack (the hero of the night!)
  • Kuna School District grounds keepers, especially Karl and Mel
  • Kuna High School admin and staff, especially Bill, Brian, Pete, Trevor, Ryan, Steve, Anna and Deb
  • Kuna High School band parents and students, especially Teri, Christine, JJ and this year's drum majors, Nathan and Mallorie
  • Many others including: BSU Blue Thunder, Phil, Kuna's mayor Joe Stear, Ronnie and Eugene
  • There were also band directors from all across the valley who donated their time to house these performers, especially Joel (Fruitland), Jerry (Mountain Home), Averi (Payette), Jeff (Caldwell) and Matt (Ontario).
  • Thank you Mike Gough and the Troopers for making this the best show yet!
And thanks to you- for sharing info on the show and attending!


​It's truly amazing what can be accomplished as everyone pitches in!

If you didn't get a chance to see the show this year, come and check it out next July- it's truly an amazing experience!​
