If you haven’t heard or didn’t see it for yourself, you need to know what happen at band camp this week!

I’m sure you won’t be surprised when we tell you that this group of young men and women showed out… and worked their tails off! They have done a remarkable job of preparing for the upcoming season and we all cannot wait to see them take the field and blow us away! Your first opportunity to witness the phenomenal group in action will be tomorrow evening (8/1/2014) at Trojan Night, where the band will give a preview performance of what they learned this week at camp. Trojan Night activities will include a meal for the band students and their immediate family members at 6:00pm in the CHS cafeteria. Immediately following the meal, at approx 7:00pm the band will give their preview performance in Grisham Stadium. Everyone is invited and welcome at this preview performance. If any parents would like to help with the preparations for Trojan Night, please arrive the CHS cafeteria at 4:00pm. We will need help preparing the food and the cafeteria for the meal and also cleaning up after the meal.

Another thing that happened this week was that our parents showed out too! Those who signed up and prepared food provided an unbelievable week of meals for our awesome band staff. They were so appreciative and overwhelmed by the amount food and support given to them this week. This was a great display of the quality of parents and support that allow our band and its leaders to do what they do best. Other parents also worked hard behind the scenes, making preparations for the coming season, manning the concession stand, driving their kids back and forth and so much more. Thank you to everyone who contributed in anyway to support these students this week and into the weeks to come. Your hard work and efforts did not go unnoticed or unappreciated.

What a great week! What a great band program! What a great thing it is to share this time and memories with family, friends and especially with our students!
