Clothing orders

Dear Parents--

After a week of receiving requests for band wear, I have not yet received enough of an order to be able to get the items at the same price as our first order.  However, we are very close to the magic number ten that we need to get the same price.  If you are interested in ordering a hoodie, sweatpants, or a duffle bag, please send me an email at emmoulton@msn.com with the following information:

Student's name

Contact info
Item wanted along with size, band, guard, or drum line for pants, and whether or not you want a name embroidered on the bag

Please let me know by November 4th!

I have had several students tell me they want to order, so please talk to your child so I don't get any unwanted orders. 

Christmas is coming and this would be a fun gift to give!

If you have any questions, please email or call me at 801-803-0505.

Problems from Today

If you haven’t already heard, there were problems today and the Band did not get to go to their Weber Review.  There were issues with communication and scheduling of the buses that could not be resolved at this late date, so we were left without transportation to get the Band there.  Instead of going to the Review, our Band held a practice for a couple of hours and then the Boosters fed them the dinner that we had intended to feed them at the Review.  EVERYONE is upset about what happened today, but everyone worked past their anger and frustration and made the best of a bad situation.  I, for one, am very proud of our students and their commitment and positive attitudes.  Please know that, behind the scenes, we are assessing the problems of the day and working to correct them so they do not happen to us again. 

Having said that, it would not be inadvisable to us, as parents, to contact the school district and talk about our concerns of the lack of adequate resources.  I do not wish to load the district down with complaints, but I feel it is sometimes necessary to put voices to our concerns as parents.  If you do this, please do it without anger.   We do not wish to start pointing fingers.  We only wish to bring our issues to the attention of those with the power to change things.  With that in mind, you might be interested to know that there is a Board of Education meeting next week on Tuesday, September 24, (it doesn’t show a time on the website, will have to call and check) at the Jordan School District Auxiliary Services Building, 7905 South Redwood Road. 

Going forward, we’d like for everyone to be on the positive side and help us go into the next Band events with a good attitude and hard work.  Thank you to everyone who helped today!  Your support is always appreciated!

Homecoming week activities

It's Homecoming Week!  The Band is very busy this week and we have a couple of activities to attend on Thursday and Friday nights.
On Thursday is the Homecoming Parade and Pep Rally.  This is a fun activity for all CHHS students and the Band will play for it.  Students should wear their summer uniform for this activity (Blue band shirt and tan shorts).  Come to our normally scheduled practice at 3:30pm.  Practice will end early and the Parade & Pep Rally will go from 6-8pm.

We have our Homecoming football game this Friday, September 20^th.  Call time for the band and color guard is at 4:30pm.  The band will meet together shortly and then the students will be able to attend the Tailgate activities starting at 5:00pm.  Students should wear their summer uniform for this activity (Blue band shirt and tan shorts).  The band will do a pregame show and then play pep band music during the game.  Any student who has done summer or fall marching band can come play pep band at any of the football games.  The game starts at 7:00pm.  The students get in for free, but tickets for everyone else are $5.  Parents wear your Band Parent Shirts to show your support.

Come join us at Preview night tonight!

Today at 6:30pm, before the show starts, we will have a Parent meeting at the stadium and we will be passing out information for our Fall Marching Band season.  CHHS Marching Grizzlies Sweatshirts and Pants will be available for order for parents and/or students. 

We have need of people to help load and unload our equipment on and off the field, prepare and serve food, and most importantly cheer us in the stands!  If you have volunteered to help on the field at competitions or would like to, we will be holding a training session tonight at 6:00pm.  We have the backdrops, drum major podiums, and percussion/pitt instruments that will need to be put on the field, so there is a lot to handle and we could use all the hands we can get.  Come join us!

Are you ready to start our competitive season?  I know it’s going to be great.  The students and staff have been working really hard and are ready to show off!  The whole school has been invited to the performance.  Bring the whole family and friends to see our 2013 Show “Shades of Latin".  Parents be ready for a surprise.  Bring your cameras and blankets to the CHHS Stadium Sep 16 at 7:00pm for the performance.

We will see you all there!

Weber Review Tuesday Sep 17

Our first Competition is here!  We will be going to the Weber Review on Tuesday, September 17^th at Weber State University.  Students should wear nice dress clothes for school on the day of all competitions.  (or on day before if competition is on the weekend)  The students will get out of classes early and take a bus to this event.  Call time is 12:30pm at CHHS Band Room.  Our performance is at 5:15pm.  We will be competing in the 3A Division.  If students will miss lunch at school, please make sure to send a sack lunch with them on the bus.  Band Boosters will be providing dinner for students and staff after their performance.  The bus will bring the students back to the school by around 8:30-9:00pm.  Marching students should have their black t-shirt/tank and shorts to wear under their uniforms.  Color Guard students please bring their other uniform pieces as needed.

Volunteers may ride the buses or meet us at the competition site.  Volunteers who are riding the bus need to be at the school by 12:30pm.  All Volunteers please wear your Band Parent Shirts.   Some competitions may let volunteers in for free, but please come prepared to pay the $5 entrance fee anyway. 

For those who will be coming to watch, see the map below for directions on how to find the site.  I’ve mapped it starting at CHHS.  Be aware that all the competitions have a $5 entrance fee per person.  If you are coming to watch please wear your Band Parent Shirt.  It would be great if the students could easily see a group of us from the field, cheering them on!  While you are there come by and see if the volunteers need any help. 

Go Marching Grizzlies!!
