How exciting! Our 2018 Aztec Marching Band show is titled “A Thousand Cranes” with music feature from a collection of Japanese pieces. View the show video theme by clicking here.
1000 Cranes are a symbol of peace, health, prosperity and mythical wisdom. It is asserted that everyone has his own hopes and wishes. According to Japanese tradition, 1000 Paper Cranes (also referred to as Senbazuru) can help people to cherish their wishes and make them become true.
A person who folds 1000 Origami Cranes will be granted a chance to make one significant wish.
What will YOU wish for?
To help make the wish come true, you can Sponsor a Crane or more with your wish. You can also help keep the heart beat of the wish alive by sponsoring our Taiko Drums
**All sponsors and their wishes will be published on our website**

The Band Camp snack shelves are a little bare. The students work very long hours during band camp, a snack or two between meals an
d during breaks are great pick-me-ups to keep them going. The oops & ouch drawers (we know those moments happen) need some replenishment too.
We are accepting donations during each of the summer rehearsals. They can be placed in the band room. Also Kathy Askins is accepting donations at her home – contact her at kathyaskinsaz@gmail.com to make the arrangements.
Our wishlist is SignUpGenius.
