Fireworks Shift Signups!

Here is your opportunity to make money for your band accounts.  The dates our stand will be open are June 28^th – July 4^th  and July 20^th – July 24^th.  The stand will be located in the Neighborhood Wal-mart parking lot on the corner of 9800 South and Bangerter Hwy (across the street from Elk Ridge Middle School).  We will need to have the tent manned 24 hours a day during the days we are open.  Volunteers will also be welcome to bring snacks to the fireworks tent anytime.

The proceeds from this fundraiser will be divided amongst those that participate.  Parents can earn proceeds toward their student’s account.  We will also have a % that will go to the band general fund.

Thanks for your support!

I neglected to put the parades and practices on the fireworks schedule.  I've updated it now.  Please double check that you have not signed a student up during these events.  Parents and siblings may work the fireworks stand in place of the student if needed.  Thank you!

NEW Band Parent Shirts

We are going to offer NEW Band Parent shirts this year.  They are dark navy blue polo shirts with the music note CH embroidered in gray on the right front of the shirt. (see below for design)  The cost is $17 per shirt.  We are taking preorders for them now.  You may email us back at copperhillsbandboosters@gmail.com with your order and we will collect money at our Booster meeting next week on Thursday, June 13 at 6:30pm.  We will place the order right after the meeting, so you should have them in time for the second parade.  If you plan on volunteering this summer or fall, we would appreciate it if you had a shirt.  Especially if you are marching in the parades or going to help take equipment onto the field for competitions, you will need this shirt.  We are excited to offer a new design and look forward to seeing you all dressed in CHHS pride!

I neglected to put sizes available before.  For the $17 cost, we have mens sizes S-XL.  For 2XL it will be $2 more, and for 3XL $3 more.  I am sorry about forgetting to mention the sizes and pricing earlier.
