With the start of school behind us we can now settle in to a little bit of a routine and continue our preparations for a successful season. With that in mind, we wanted to pass along the few items that you will want to take note of this week.

• Full Band Practice Regular Schedule: Moving forward our regular practice schedule will be in place, which is Monday & Tuesday – 3:15pm to 6:15pm; Thursday – 6:00pm to 9:00pm
• Water Donations: The Band Boosters and staff have asked that all students donate (4) cases of bottled water  to help offset the cost of providing bottled water throughout the season. If you have not already brought your donation of water, please try to do so ASAP.
• Booster Membership and Dues: Carrollton Trojan Band Booster Club membership is open to all alumni, and parents/guardians of current and former CHS Band, Color Guard & Winter Guard students. Annual Band Booster dues are $35.00 per family and are due by August 1st each year.
