Medication Form

Check the Marching Cavaliers tab for the "Medication Form." This form is to be filled out, and submitted on Sunday, prior to boarding the bus for band camp. Medications must be signed over to the Directors by a parent or guardian.

All medications must be in their own prescription bottles, with clear labels for the student's name, name of medication, dosage, schedule for dosage, use, and prescribing physician.

All medication bottles must be in a plastic zip-lock bag with the students name clearly labeled on the bag.

Pre-Camp Update

Wednesday's practice will begin at 7:00 AM at the practice field. Make sure you arrive at CHS with enough time to set up, assemble your instruments, put your things in your locker, and walk to the field for a 7:00 AM start.

Reminder: Tonight is the first payment night, from 6-8 pm in CHS band room. Check earlier posts for your student's assigned date.

Pre-Camp has been a great experience! The students have been very attentive, disciplined, and focused, and as a result, we have been able to cover a lot of ground very quickly. So far, we have learned:

Attention/Parade Rest
Right/Left/About Hace
Mark Time/Halt
Forward March
Horns Up/Horns Down

We've also covered a lot of our squad drill system, including:
Up
TTR
Right/Left Pivot
Right/Left Flank

We've also made great strides in learning the music for Pre-Game.
I'm so grateful to all of the students and families for helping us start off on the LEFT foot!

Fees Reminder

Be sure to check the previous post for your student's assigned time.

The $25.00 pay-to-participate fee is made payable to the "CHS Athletic Department."

The remaining $226.00 of the baseline fees are made payable to "CHS Band Boosters."

All other uniform components can be added to a single check for the Boosters.

Marching Band Fees:
To better facilitate communication between the Booster Treasurers and parents, the Treasurers will be available from 6 - 8 pm on Tuesday and Thursday during Pre-Camp to accept payments for this season's fees. Families of students are assigned to either day alphabetically. Please make every effort to attend on your scheduled day. If you are unable to attend during your assigned time, you may come during the other time. In this event, please give at least 24 hours notice to the Director via email: chillicothehighschoolbands@gmail.com

A breakdown of the fees can be found under the "Marching Cavaliers" tab. Please e-mail the Director with your name, instrument, grade, and polo shirt and mesh short sizes, ASAP. Members who have the Disney polo from the trip do not need to buy another shirt. NOTE: The shirts tend to run small. If you are in doubt, opt for one size higher than normal.
