Parent Meeting next Tuesday July 29 at 5pm

Parents! As stated in our last newsletter we will have a parent meeting right after camp at 5pm next week on Tuesday, July 29th in the new CHS auditorium. At this meeting we will have a question/answer session about the operations of the band and our booster club. We will introduce our booster officers and accept nominations for officer positions. We have a lot of new students in the band this year who are doing an amazing job. YOUR STUDENTS need your help! There are many things that go into supporting a band organization. The only way it works is through your attendance and participation in what your student does. Again, next Tuesday, July 29 at 5pm in the new CHS auditorium. 

Family Fun Day Saturday, July 19th from 12pm-until dark.

This Saturday July 19 the CHS Band is hosting a Family Fun Day Event at the old CHS football stadium. We have many family activities planned such as tug-o-war, a corn hole tournament, a walk a thon, water balloons and more! We are asking $2 per person at the gate, children under 2 get in free. We are also inviting people to set up their own personal yard sale for a $5 set up fee. People who think they have the best chili can participate in our chili cook off for a $20 entry fee. With our Walk a thon you can sponsor a student for $3 per mile. Local businesses are also welcome to set up a booth for $5. The band will have concession items for sale such as hot dogs, chips, soft drinks, water and candy. Start time is noon and we will wrap everything up at dark. This is the first time our band has attempted a fundraiser like this, please come out, support us and enjoy a great summer event!
