  Hey...  Congratulations to all our CHS Trojan Pride Marching Band Members!  Super first show this past Friday evening.  Now let's finish it up and make it great!!

  This week's announcements and schedule:   👀 Congratulations to the marching band on their 1st week of after-school practices.  We were amazed at how much of the show from band camp you remembered over a 2 week period!  Keep up the great work! #1  Parents of Middle School Band / Instrumental Music Students :  A flyer / permission form "should" have gone home with your child this past Thursday.  It is very important that you read, sign and return the form no later than this coming Wednesday .  It concerns the new rotating music lesson schedule , and we absolutely need them handed in by Wednesday.  Thank you!   "IF" a student does not return the form by Wednesday then we will assume that the parents are in agreement with the lesson schedule and the student will be included in the instrumental groupings and the lesson rotation   .  Parents have 3 choices in this matter. Thanks!  NOTE:  I am very pleased to say that ...

  Happy 1st Day of School!   Yeah!!! Marching Band Members...Please remember these things: 1.  The 1st band practice is this coming Wednesday from 3-5 PM.  You can find the block schedule on the white board first thing Wednesday morning! 2.  Remember that you will need to get changed into your marching band practice clothes before taking the field.  This includes shorts, t shirt and sneakers.  School clothes will not suffice for band practice!!! 3.  Continue to bring your water jug.   This should be filled and with you everywhere you go.  We'll take water breaks sporadically. 4.  Please review your stuff from camp:   a) Music  b) drill on the UDB, and watch the show on Youtube so you can memorize your moves and drill.  We only have 5 practices before our first performance!

Band Camp Notes and Upcoming Announcements... Congratulation Everybody!  We managed to get the first 2/3 of the show blocked.  With the level show that it is, that's a really big accomplishment!  Kudos!!

  Happy "Post" July 4th!  Announcements: 🎷 Marching Band Mailer sent!  You should be receiving the marching band mailer early this week, if you haven't already.  Please read and mark the dates! If you do not receive it please contact Mr. D!! UDB (Ultimate Drill Book).... is a downloaded app. that each and every band member will use to hold their show music and their marching drill.  Once the app. is downloaded then no cell service or wi-fi is necessary to use it on the field or in the band room.  We realize that some band members "might" come to camp with a phone that does not have any cell service so we're trying to work with the school administration to allow the students access to the school wi-fi just long enough to download the UDB app.   Pirates Show:  Victor (drill designer) is currently working on the drill (choreography) and should have it to us in a short while.  As soon as we receive it and know it has been uploaded onto th...
