4.  Chick-fil-A Bowl Details

The CHS Trojan Band will be performing at this year’s Chick-fil-A Bowl in Atlanta, GA on January 1, 2018.

Tickets:

Our student tickets have been generously donated by the company who is hosting the bands at the Chick-fil-A Bowl.  This is an event that most bands travel to Atlanta to participate in as their “band trip” for the year and pay for their individual tickets.  We are fortunate that we were invited to participate and our student tickets have been purchased for us.

All parent tickets including for chaperone and equipment crew cost $175.00 each and includes admission to the game, fanfest, security clearance to enter with the band, and a credential.  We understand that this is an expensive game admission.  If you would like to chaperone but not attend Fanfest or the game – admission to the parade is free and you would be welcome to either hang out on the bus or could visit the CNN center for lunch/etc? While the students attend the game.

• Mass Band Rehearsal – 12/31/2017
