  • Band Decal & Magnet Recall – We noticed that there were some issues of de-lamination with some of the window decals and magnets we sold last fall so we contacted the vendor and they have offered replacements for those faulty items. So if you have noticed this issue with your current window decal(s) and/or magnet(s), please email the boosters at: chstrojanbands@gmail.com. After we receive your details, we will provide a free replacement(s) for your item(s). Thank you for your cooperation and understanding and we do apologize for any inconvenience.
