Lots of Information Coming Your Way

Congratulations to the Carrollton Trojan Football team on their impressive victory over Clarke Central in the first playoff round!  It was an exciting game! Also, thank you all for your attendance at the band’s Veterans Day concert. It was a lovely night of music and recognition of our veterans!

All-In-One Distribution

We are looking forward to distributing all of the fruit and meat that was sold for our annual All-In-One fundraiser!  Please note that we will need lots of volunteers this week to help!  In the schedule for the week you will see where you can sign up to volunteer.  Time slots are one hour.  This does not mean we only want you to sign up for one hour, it is done this way so that you are able to help even if you only have one hour.  We would love for you to sign up for as much as possible!

If you are not going to the away game Friday night, PLEASE sign up to help with the ALL-IN-ONE!  It will be critical that we have parents willing to help out that night, as we will be split between two band events; supporting our football team against Arabia Mountain and completing our All-In-One Fundraiser!

This week’s schedule

IMPORTANT:

Is your child currently completing Health requirements through band? If so, please double check their progress.  We would like for as many students to be finished with the course content by the end of Thanksgiving Break.  Students have until the last week of the 1st semester to finish, but by finishing before December they will have more time to focus on their end of course exams.  VERY IMPORTANT however is the eADAP course that must be completed through the GaDOE.  Once completed, please print the certificate and submit to Mr. Carr.

The holiday season is quickly approaching!

Chick-fil-A Bowl Details

As you know, our band has been invited to participate in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

Tickets:

The cost of our student tickets has been generously donated.  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.

If you buy your tickets through us, the tickets will be blocked together with the student tickets.  We will all be sitting in the same general area.  Because the ticket requires entrance as a group, all tickets purchased by parents will be handed out after the parade on 1/1/2018.  You can purchase your tickets from now until November 17, 2017.  Tickets can be paid for by check (made out to the CHS Band Boosters), cash (in an envelope with name of student and name of parent), or online at https://chstrojanband.revtrak.net/trojan-band-trip/
