St. Vrain Valley Schools’ Drone Performance Team, the world’s first high school student-led outdoor drone show team, returns to Longmont this Fourth of July with a special performance for the community. Featuring 300 drones flying in sync, the show will highlight iconic Independence Day imagery designed and produced entirely by St. Vrain Valley high school students.

From the first planning meeting to the final flight, students lead every part of the process — designing aerial animations, composing original music, and coordinating logistics. Along the way, they gain hands-on experience in engineering, creative design, project management, and music production.

Drone Show Details:

  • Audio for the show will stream live. Listen to the livestream.
  • Show begins at approximately 9:15 p.m.
  • The drones will perform in the sky above Dickens Farm Nature Area (area closed to public).

Great Places to Watch Include:

  • The Street Party area in downtown Longmont (on Emery St. between 1st and 3rd Aves).
  • Green space south of Left Hand Creek and north of the Longmont Museum and Recreation Center.

St. Vrain Valley is proud to showcase the incredible talent and innovation of our students as they bring this one-of-a-kind celebration to the skies above Longmont.
