 We are inviting all band alumni to join us for both the half-time show ( It will be a simple block formation) and play in the stands (if you'd like).  The 3 halftime tunes ( Son of a Preacher Man, Live and Let Die and Land of a Thousand Dances ) are available in the CHS Band Room, and there will be a run-through practice at 3:30 PM on Friday, October 6th in the CHS Band Room.  Please RSVP to Mike Simmons. Any other questions call Chuck Dettmar at the HS at 740.-625-6055 ext 2185.

Note:  Unfortunately, because the majority of our instruments are signed-out to students, we don't have many extra instruments at this time - but you can ask!

Note #2:  Past color guard, drill team, flag corps, twirlers, etc... are encouraged to come along and show their stuff as well.  Hope to see you there!
