We report on coordinated observations of the short-period active binary \sigma² CrB (F6V + G0V, P_{\rm orb}=1.14 d) taken with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer, and the Very Large Array. EUVE observations span more than 7 orbital periods of the system. Centered in the middle of the nine day EUVE observation is a Chandra ACIS-S+HETGS grating observation lasting 85 ks and an overlapping 12 hour multifrequency VLA observation. We discuss the coronal variability, present high-resolution X-ray spectra and preliminary analysis including the search for flares, and tie the thermal high temperature emission together with nonthermal coronal emission.
