Dear Cowboy Community,
I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. We have just eight days of school before finals begin. You can find the Winter Finals Schedule here. Note that Wednesday, December 17th is a seven period day, with shortened classes to accommodate early release, and finals for periods 2, 4, and 6 will be on Friday, December 19th.
Congratulations to Mr. Mueller and his band members. Four Cowboy Band members auditioned and qualified for the Best of the West Music Festival and are performing today at Colorado Mesa University in Grand Junction. Ian Busby (Euphonium), Riego Koepsel (Oboe), and Adan Lincer (Clarinet), are performing the the Symphonic Band, while Gavin Vasquez (Flute) will be playing with the Wind Symphony. Riego and Jacob Frey were named to the Western Slope Honor Jazz Band and will perform in January.
Winter sports kicked off this week. Wrestling opened Thursday, dueling perennial rivals from Olathe in front of a great home crowd. They wrestle in Bayfield on Saturday. Swim & Dive, Climbing, and Varsity Basketball all open their seasons this weekend, in Glenwood Springs, Grand Junction, and Pagosa Springs, respectively.
Next week, there are plenty of home events to attend. Catch all of our basketball teams in a six game evening on Tuesday, December 9th, with C Team games beginning at 4pm. Wrestling is home again on Thursday at 6pm, with a duel against Alamosa, and basketball hosts North Fork on Friday night beginning at 4pm. Swim & Dive will host their opening home meet of the season on Saturday morning, with races beginning at 10 am.
Have a great weekend.
