A quick note from MJ.
Dear Parents,
Thank you so much for coming to Parent Preview and watching your students at the beginning of this marching season. As usual, I got a little tongue-tied and forgot to say a couple of things.
1. Although that was an excellent first performance, you will be surprised at how much progress we will make throughout the season. Please plan on attending as many competitions as you can - your students deserve to see that you support and love them. (Information will be available here on the blog and also from the students.)
2. Our Band Booster Board is amazing. They created our magnificent backdrops and arranged for everything that happened at the performance (uniforms, Red Rocks paperwork, front colorguard screens, etc.) to go smoothly. A special kudos goes to Eric Moulton, who came up with the design for our backdrops and spearheaded the team that built them, and Michelle Moulton, who is all things Grizzly Bands. I am here to tell you - our organization would not function without her and all the hard work she does. Her leadership and countless sacrifices have made my job easier and have directly benefited your students. Thank you so much, Michelle!
3. Your students are wonderful. I have never worked with students who worked harder or who had better attitudes. Okay, they're teenagers so they're not perfect all the time, but I am constantly impressed as to how well they take criticism, how hard they push themselves, and what amazing human beings they are in general. Thank you for raising them right and letting them do what they do. And thank you for sharing them with me, if only for a little while.
Good start of the season - looking forward to the rest!

Parent Preview
Parent Preview night is coming up on Monday, September 12th at 6:30 p.m. at the CHHS stadium. This is a free event for all of your family and friends to come and get their first glimpse of this year's marching band.
Immediately following the performance, in the band room, we will be collecting insurance information and travel consent paperwork for our trip to St. George (Red Rocks) at the end of October. Here is what you need to bring to complete the paperwork:
Immediately following the performance, in the band room, we will be collecting insurance information and travel consent paperwork for our trip to St. George (Red Rocks) at the end of October. Here is what you need to bring to complete the paperwork:
- Go to http://purchasing.jordandistrict.org/files/Parent-Consent-for-Student-Travel-and-Medical-Treatment1.pdf and print out the form. In some cases, you may be able to fill in all information before printing it. If, for some reason, you are unable to print one off at home, there will be copies for you that night.
- Please copy the front and back of your insurance card. Again, if you cannot get a copy made before that night, we will have a copy machine available. If you do not have insurance, no worries! There is a space on the form for you to indicate so.
- We will have 2-3 notaries there to notarized all documents (free of charge). Please make sure you have a picture ID with you for the notary.
The more items you have prepared before you come, the faster you will be out of there! All students going to St. George must have this paperwork completed in order to go. If you are not able to make it that night, you will be responsible for gathering and notarizing on your own. The school does have its own notary that won't charge, but you would need to make arrangements.

Back Drop Building Party!
We had fun building the back drops on Saturday. Those who came worked extremely hard and it paid off. Here are some pictures from that day:

Pick Up Times
Parents: please change your marching band rehearsal pick-up
times to 6:15 and 9:15. Rehearsal ends at 6 and 9 and it takes the
students time to get to the band room, put their instrument/equipment away, and
get out to your car. We apologize for the inconvenience you have
experienced waiting for your students.
