Following our last performance, we will immediately load the trailer and busses and return to CHS at approximately 5:30 pm.

Practice all music and make sure you are ready to perform. This will be the community's first opportunity to hear and see us, so we want to do our best! Continue the attention to detail, dedication, and perseverance that you showed during band camp, and this will be a great kick-off to our season!
Individual and Ensemble photos for the Marching Band will be held this Friday at 2 pm. Order forms will be passed out upon returning to CHS after the Fair performances. Updates regarding uniforms, and report times/locations will be made in the next few days. Stay tuned!
Post-Camp will be held from August 13 - 17 at CHS, from 7 am to 12 pm. Sectionals will be held from 1 - 3 pm everyday, and will follow the same schedule as Pre-Camp.
