Only 19 Fridays until the Gold Pan football game, but who’s counting? Ponderosa Football?
Can’t wait that long to hear the music? Come join us tomorrow on the Ponderosa campus for our 11th Annual Gold Country Jazz Festival! The music kicks off at 8AM and goes all day in both the large gym and the cafeteria. Grab your morning pick-me-up with Santoro Coffee and stay for our famous pulled pork served during the lunch hour. You haven’t lived until you’ve had our pulled pork nachos! Pondo Jazz I closes the show on the main stage at 3:25PM. Festival passes are $12 which is the best money you can spend to hear some of the best student jazz musicians from across the Sacramento region. See you Saturday!!!

Twas the night before CHAMPS and all through the band room, all the students were stirring because they have a really early call time!
Good luck to our favorite Hiders & Seekers, Chess players, and Femme Fatales. Show them how we do it in El Dorado County and leave no crumbs!
We’ll be cheering for you!
With love, your favorite Desperados.

Howdy Partners! Hitch up your wagon and ride on over to Simon-Bruin Stadium this Friday night at 7:30pm for your Bruin Marching Band’s Home Show.

Admission is FREE and you’ll be entertained with their 2025 award-winning competition show, “DESPERADO” along with their favorite 2025 pep tunes, closing with a special tip of the hat to our seniors with “Alma Mater” before they ride off into the sunset. With two 1st place trophies and one 3rd place already in our corral from the comp season, it’s hard to tell who is having a better season between band and Ponderosa Football so come on out and see our brand of excitement on the turf!

Can’t make it Friday? The Bruin Marching Band will be at their final comp this Saturday at Sac State’s Hornet Stadium with a 3:30pm performance time. On Monday they will be part of the District Showcase where all four district HS bands will perform as well as the Sac State Marching Band (which also features some Bruin alumni). District Showcase starts at 6:30pm in the Union Mine stadium and that show is also FREE!

Round ‘em up and move ‘em out cowboys!
We’ll see you Friday night.
Don’t be late now, ya hear?!!
