New CHHS Band Website

Mr. Simpson has started a new website for the Bands at CHHS.  Right now it is just starting up, but please keep a watch on it for updates.  The website is www.copperhillsbands.org.  This website will also update to the Band’s Facebook and Twitter pages.  We will still be running this Band Boosters website as well.  Together they should be able to keep us all informed.

Band Booster Meeting Nov 14

Our next Band Booster Meeting is on Thursday, November 14 at 6:30pm in the CHHS Band Room.  Please come and help us make important decisions and find out information about upcoming events and fundraisers.  At this meeting we will introduce a new fundraiser.  If you still owe fees from this year, please plan on attending to get this information. 

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.

U of U Marching Experience Nov 9, 2013

This is NOT a mandatory event.  This is just for those high school juniors and seniors who wish to participate.  We will NOT be doing this as a group band activity.  Students who wish to attend will need to make their own arrangements for this event.

"This is a unique opportunity for high school students to experience a game day alongside the Marching Utes in Rice-Eccles Stadium for a NATIONALLY TELEVISED, Pac-12 football game.
Participants get the experience of being a member of the Marching Utes along with the many benefits each member enjoys.
At this year's Experience, participants will perform pre-game AND halftime with the Pride of Utah. They will also participate in marching and music rehearsals with the Ute Marching Band and have a chance to interact with U faculty, students and fans.
This is a wonderful opportunity to Experience the historic and beautiful U campus and enjoy a sold-out, Pac-12, nationally televised football game in reserved seats with the Utah Marching Band."

Mt. Timpanogos Competition Oct 26

The Mt. Timpanogos Competition is on Saturday, October 26 at Pleasant Grove High School.  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 take a bus to this event.  Call time is 8:30am at CHHS Band Room.  Buses will leave by 1:00pm.  Our warm-up time is from 2:25pm and our performance is at 3:30pm.  We will be competing in the 3A Division.  Band Boosters will be providing dinner for students and staff after their performance.  But the students will need to bring a sack lunch to eat after their practice is over in the morning.  The bus will bring the students back to the school by around 7:00pm.  Marching students should have their fall shirt or black t-shirt/tank and shorts to wear under their uniforms (Don’t forget to wear black socks!)  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 link 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.

Timpanogos Competition.  They will return around 7pm that night.  For more information on this competition, please see the post about it on this webpage.
