There was both excitement and tension in the air as six teams of students demonstrated their deep knowledge of 15 books as they vied for the title of Battle of the Books Champion.

The Cherry Creek School District now has their own band and orchestra instrument repair shop. It's located inside Overland High School and repairs instruments for the nearly 25,000 students in band and orchestra in the district.

School kids are rough on the musical instruments they play, and it can be expensive for a school district to send them off to be fixed when they are broken. So, Cherry Creek Schools has figured out a way to cut down on that expense; bring everything in-house. Surrounded by musical instruments, Cherry Creek Schools' Instrument Repair Technicians Jeff Eisold and Alan Davies move together in a symphony of silence. Nestled in a shop in Overland High School they bring the district's damaged band and orchestral instruments back to life, like a fifty-year-old baritone sax.
