Dinner Dance Fundraiser Feb 11

Dinner Dance Fundraiser February 11

·         We will serve a lasagna dinner, hold a raffle for airline tickets and have a dessert auction.  Our very own Jazz Band will play for us during the dance.  All proceeds from this fundraiser will benefit the CHHS Band program.  The dinner will start at 6:00pm, we will start the raffle/auction around 6:45pm, and the dance will start at 7:00pm.

·         ALL students will be asked to help at this event.  We will need them to help set up, act as waiters/waitresses, and help clean up.  Students should look for signup sheets to come closer to time of event.

·         We have been given several one-way Jet Blue airline tickets to raffle off at this event.  We are thinking of selling the raffle tickets for $10 each.

·         We also need each student to provide a dessert to be auctioned.  You are welcome to provide more than one if you desire.

·         Please come to this event and help support our Bands.  Come prepared to buy at the raffle and auction.  We would LOVE to make this an annual event if we can get enough participation.

Winter Guard Food donations

Guard parents—
Evaluations are here! This Saturday, January 17th is evaluations. This is a time where they compete in front of the judges to be placed in their competition group. We will be meeting at Copper Hills at 9:00 in the morning and will warm up, review and then get on the buses. We will return between 1:00-1:30 at Copper Hills. We will not be providing lunch on this date due to the early return time. If needed they can bring a small snack with them.
Food for competitions
On competition days we feed the guard lunch. We ask that you sign up to help provide the food so that we can keep the cost down. Please note that we do the best to give them a good lunch but we are at competitions for a long time. They will need to still bring food for dinner or money for concession stand food. (We will be at the competitions from about 12:00 to 10:00 each time). I am working on getting the sign up for food on the blog but until then you can message me with the items you are willing to donate. We will be feeding 24 people for competitions.
Thanks

Davis Competition Oct 21

Our next event is the Davis Cup Competition on Tuesday, October 21 at Davis 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 get out of classes early and take a bus to this event.  Call time is 1:00 at CHHS Band Room.  Our performance is at 3:30pm.  We will be competing in the 2A Division.  Band Boosters will be providing dinner for students and staff after their performance.  The buses should return students to the school by around 11:30pm.  Marching students should have their fall shirt 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 1:00pm.  All Volunteers please wear your Band Parent Shirts and jeans.   Please come prepared to pay the $5 entrance fee.

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. 

Go Marching Grizzlies!!
