Thieves stole equipment early Thursday from the Legend High School marching band, about a week before the state championship competition commences.
Thieves broke into two sheds, at about 2:30 a.m., behind the school at 22219 Hilltop Road, according to Parker police. Two generators, carts, four light-up orbs and several heavy-duty extension cords were stolen from the Legend Titan Band.
“Without these critical pieces of equipment, it is difficult for the Legend students to compete in the state championship,” police said on Facebook.
The 2017 Colorado Bandmasters Association State Championship 5A and 4A quarterfinals start on Friday Oct. 27 at Falcon Stadium on the U.S. Air Force Academy grounds.

Police have surveillance photos of the thieves and a vehicle used, a white, extended cab pickup truck, possibly a Ford F-150. The thieves tried to break into a third shed near the sports field but were unsuccessful, police said.
Anyone with information on the thefts, or on possible suspects, is asked to call Officer Dan Britton at 303-435-2639.
