This Week's Events

We have a couple of events going on this week:

Football Game--Thursday Night
Marching band practice will go until 5:30.  At that time, the kids will have a 40 minute break to relax and eat.  Ms. Johnson has asked that the kids stay at the school during this break.  They will need to provide their own food.  At 6:10, they will change into full uniform and head to the stands prior to pre-game.  They will stay in uniform for the duration of the game.

Mt. Timpanogos Competition--Saturday
Call time:  7:30 a.m.
Bus leaves:  8:00 a.m.
Warm up:  2:00 p.m.
Performance:  3:15 p.m.
Buses back at school between 11:00-11:30 p.m.  (This is subject to change to an earlier return time.)

The band boosters will feed the kids after they perform.  The kids may want to bring snacks or money for the rest of the day.  Make sure they get a good breakfast.

Don't forget:
     *Green fall t-shirt
     *Warm clothes for sitting in the stands
     *Water bottle
     *LONG black socks

The competition is held at Pleasant Grove High School.  Admission is $5.  If you have been asked to help with pit or color guard equipment, please try to be at the competition an hour before performance.  If you are coming as part of the crowd, please wear your Copper Hills colors and cheer loudly for our band!

Potato Pick Up!

The potatoes will be ready to be picked up Tuesday (Oct. 13th) at 3:30 p.m.  Please pull through the front driveway on the north side of the high school to pick up your order.  The potatoes should be separated by kind so we'll just go through and get the bags you need.  It is crucial that your order be picked up tomorrow!  Someone will be there to help you until 5:00 or 5:30.  If you need to come later than that, please email copperhillsbandboosters@gmail.com to make arrangements.

It's a Miracle!

Our site is functioning once again!  Through no power of the blog author, everything seems to be working once again.  Isn't technology amazing?

Technical Difficulties

For some reason, the various links to sign-up sheets or other information is showing that they do not exist.  While this is a frustration, all is not lost.  The sheets are indeed alive and well, but for some reason are not in the right place.  Please bear with us as we strive to fix this problem.  If there is a particular sheet you need access to, please send an email to copperhillsbandboosters@gmail.com and we can give you the information you seek.

Thursday night Football Game

The band will participate in Thursday night's football game at Copper Hills.  They will have regular rehearsal until 5:00 p.m. and then an extra 45 minute rehearsal to go over pre-game and pep tunes.  They will then have a 45 minute break to eat something (they can eat at the high school or run home for dinner) and then back to the school at 6:30 p.m. ready for the game.  They are to be dressed in their blue summer t-shirts, jeans, and marching shoes.
