The 92 12-20-year-olds will perform the show at the World Championship for Marching Show Bands Saturday in Calgary after marching in the Calgary Stampede parade Friday. Once its Calgary shows are complete - with perhaps a berth in the championship finals Tuesday - the band returns to Central Alberta for a host of performances and parades. A presentation was also made Wednesday to outgoing director Rob Goring.
