Volunteers to videotape competitions

We are in need of volunteers to tape our performances at each competition, except for the BYU competition which doesn’t allow recordings.  If you would be willing to do this at any of the competitions and share so that the band may watch themselves at their practices, please respond to this email and let us know.  If you can do this, we may be able to find a pass for one person to get into the competition for free on those dates.  Thank you!

Nebo Competition Sep 27

Our next event is the Mt. Nebo Competition on Saturday, September 27^th at Payson 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 10:16am at CHHS Band Room.  Our performance is at 1:15pm.  We will be competing in the 2A Division.  Band Boosters will be providing lunch for students and staff after their performance.  We will be back to the school by around 5:00pm.  Marching students should have clothes to wear under their uniforms (Don’t forget to wear black socks!)  Color Guard students please bring their other uniform pieces as needed.

Need volunteers, food, Red Rocks info and shoe orders

Volunteers

We are in need of volunteers for our competitions, especially for the Wasatch competition (Oct 7) which is hosted at our school.  On that day, we are running a concession stand and need help throughout the day and night.  Both parents and students may help at the concessions, but students have to perform at 11:45am that day.  So please do NOT sign up students for that time period. You can find the signups on the Volunteers tab at the top of this page. 

Food Donations

Thank you all for helping to fill in our food donations for competitions!  We only have a few spots left open.  We have also now added the Red Rocks trip food to the donation list.  So please look it over and see where you could help.  You do NOT have to be present at a competition to donate.  Your student can bring the food items to the school on that day.  There will be a cooler for perishable items and a box for everything else.   You can find the signups on the Volunteers tab at the top of this page.

Shoe Orders
If you ordered marching shoes, you will need to pay for them at the main office before picking them up.  The cost is $25 and then you give a copy of your receipt to Ms. Johnson to get your shoes.  The shoes are not here yet, but are on their way.  You must have paid and have your shoes before our first performance on Sep 15.
