Thank You Volunteers: Band Room Transformation

Thank you for reading. Please share this post to make sure that everyone know’s what is going on with our program!

Thank you so much to the volunteers who assisted us with straightening the booster club areas in the band room! A team reorganized the storage areas upstairs so that it makes more sense for the guard and band uniforms. Another team organized the freezer room and even defrosted the entire freezer to clean it out! A team washed out all of the water coolers to get them ready for this season. Another team organized the “Castle” with the LoC room and the prop storage area. We had many parents and students there to assist, and we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you so much for volunteering your time to make that space better for our band program!

Summer Health Class

The eADAP certificate was due 2 weeks ago. If your child has not completed this portion of the Health class, they are falling behind and need to get caught up. We cannot provide credit without completing the eADAP course, which is a mandatory step to get a driver’s license.

Students who participate in the Marching Band at Carrollton High School have a special opportunity to complete a health course online to receive credit for Health and PE through participation in the Marching Band. This information was posted to the Google Classroom last Thursday. Students participating in this opportunity should be enrolled in the Google Classroom (code: s5ik2u3c).

We are traveling to Universal Studios!

On Friday, June 13, we had a virtual meeting to announce this year’s trip. If you missed it, here how you can get the inforamtion and sign up for the trip! The first deposit was due on June 20, but you can still sign up. Right now we still have room. We would love for all students in the Trojan Marching Band to travel with us to Universal Studios this March! We will travel from March 20 – 24, 2026, and participate in a sound stage experience where the students will record the background music, dialogue, and sound FX for a scene from Despicable Me! This will be an exciting experience in addition to the opportunities to observe the performance industry while visiting Universal Studios Orlando, Islands of Adventure, and the newest park EPIC Universe! We will spend 2 days at EPIC, and have 2 days at Universal/Islands of Adventure with park-to-park privileges, so the students will have the opportunity to ride many roller coasters throughout the trip!

For more information and to sign-up for the trip please visit https://chstrojanband.com/26-bandtrip/ • Sign up using the links to the Super Holiday Tours website.
