AM Band Rehearsals

We will have socially distant in-person morning rehearsals from 7:00-8:15am Tuesday through Friday each week. Virtual students may join us and go home right after rehearsal. We will also stream morning rehearsals through your schoology band class. This week we will start learning our Winter Concert Music.

Virtual Meeting Links/CHS Band Music

*Use the Regiment MAIN ROOM for your band class*

**WINTER CONCERT MUSIC ADDED** We are going to continue to use the Virtual Band Camp Grid IN CASE Schoology crashes and if students need to download music.

2nd Supply Check Wed Oct 21st

Supply Checks are pass or fail, so if you are missing 1 item it is a zero.  Students can bring items later for full credit before the end of the six weeks grading period. We do have supplies available for purchase in the band office (please have exact change).

Poinsettia Fundraiser - Happy Poinsettia Season Everyone!

CHS Band has been approved by administration to have their annual poinsettia fundraiser for the 8th year. All profits go directly to support the CHS band program. This year we will be going virtual with contactless delivery. All students are encouraged to reach out via email, phone, and social media to collect sales. No door to door sales please.

Details:  Each poinsettia sells for $13 with color options of Red, White, or Pink.

Form and Money Collection:  All forms and money will be collected on Friday, October 30th. Parents are encouraged to send only checks in an envelope (checks payable to CHS Band Boosters). No cash please. This limits contact and is safer for collection. Please don’t send cash with your child. 

Delivery will be Friday, December 4th. Make sure customers know it takes a few days to get poinsettias out to everyone. 

If you have any questions, you can email Mr. Klein at aklein@bisdmail.net

PAY BAND FEES ONLINE - PAST DUE

It's important to stay on track with the band fees.  We purchase a lot of items for the students & pay for marching techs, colorguard techs, percussion techs, & masterclass teachers.  Most of the money is spent in August. If you need a different financial arrangement than the $100 per month please email Mr. Klein.  Please make your payments online in Cut Time with a debit/credit card.**You MUST create a username & password first**

That's all for now!
