After having to cancel the championships early on Saturday morning, several of the RMPA board members and staff scrambled to put together a clinic for the groups that are heading to Nationals, Northglenn High School, Legacy High School, Longmont High School, and The Blue Knights. Glenwood Springs High School was invited as well because they had already arrived in Loveland. This was a chance for the groups to one on one critiques from the judges. Dave Marvin was able to confirm the use of Arvada High School and word quickly went out that we would hold the clinic at 1pm. Word had gotten around and students and instructors from several other schools showed up to cheer on their fellow competitors.

Glenwood Springs started the performances, followed by Longmont, Legacy, Northglenn, and Blue Knights. After each performance, students from the other schools would run down from the stands and help the performance group get their equipment off of the floor and down a flight of stairs. It was wonderful to see the comraderee among the different groups.

Thank you to Lindsi Durrett for taking photos of the event, and to Ward Durrett and Dave and Kathy Marvin for putting the event together. Thanks to the judges, Steve Yoder, Bob Dubinski, Ed Warren, Jeff Prosperie, Jody Dunwoody, Dennis Delucia, and Jay McArthur for giving these schools the time and perspective that will help them get ready for the World Championships in Dayton.
