A big THANK YOU also goes out to all the marching band members, chaperones, trailer pullers and parent pit crew at last night's championship game at Eastern High School!!! ANNOUNCEMENTS : Friday, Nov. 8th:   Play-Off Game #2 at Northmore .  Game begins at 7PM and the band bus will pull out at 5:30 PM.  Dinner $ will be provided for band members. Band practice will be from 3:15 - 4:15PM. Friday, Nov. 8th:  OWU ( Ohio Wesleyan University ) Honor Band nomination forms signed by parents are due in the band office.  If your child brought home a form then it will need to be returned

  Plans for this Friday:  NOV. 1st The marching band will be attending the 1st play-off game in Reedsville, OH...a 2 and a half hr. / 131 mile trip each way.  Mr. D. is waiting to hear back from the administration concerning the plans he'd like to put in place, and you will all be notified as soon as we have things organized.  In the meantime, you can count on the following : 1.  We will most likely need to leave CHS around 3:30 PM 2.  Will suspend the "eating only during 3rd quarter rule" and allow various sections of the band to visit the concession stand during the 1st and 2nd quarters as well as during the 3rd quarter (after we perform the halftime show). 3. The music boosters will either feed us before we leave or provide a bag snack of some sort to bring along on the bus.  Not sure yet. 4.  We will most definitely not return home until close to, or around 1 AM!!

  Attention all marching band members and parents...!! I was just notified that there will be "at least" one Play-Off Game.  The first one is scheduled for Friday November 1st and the marching band will be attending!  ( Please mark your calendars ). *  As of this moment we do not know who the opponent will be or where it will be played.  We'll keep you updated!

  Attention all CHS Marching Band Members... This Tuesday is our final marching band practice , but we will need to change the time of it from 3:00 to 5:00 PM due to some schedule conflicts.  This is the last practice before this Friday's senior show, so we're asking everyone to please mark their calendars and make any schedule changes on their end in order to be there! Also:  Ordinarily we hold the marching band banquet just before Thanksgiving, but with how many things are currently on this year's calendar we will need to push it back a bit...probably to just after the new year.  We'll keep you updated!
