Outstanding job by our Winter Guard at the SAPA show hosted by Villa Rica yesterday. Each week they continue to fill in more of their show and their score increases. We look forward to their next performance on February 28 at Whitewater High School!

This Week (2/16 – 2/19) at a Glance • CHS School Announcements

Soda Donations Requested

As we prepare for our annual Band BBQ, we are asking our band families and community supporters to consider donating sodas to help make this event as impactful as possible for our students. We use 12-ounce cans of Coca-Cola, Diet Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Dr. Pepper.

These beverages frequently go on sale throughout the year. By working together and purchasing during promotional pricing, we can stretch our dollars further and reduce event expenses. Every cost we lower means more proceeds go directly to supporting our students through instrument purchases, travel opportunities, scholarships, and program needs. The event is on April 30, 2026, so there is no immediate need, but we wanted to get the word out early so we can begin keeping an eye out for sales.

Thank you for always finding ways to support the Trojan Band. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.

Uniform Room Organization Volunteers

Mrs. Bush will be at the school on February 24 to assist with organizing the uniform room. We could use some volunteers to assist her that day. If you are available, we would love your help as well. Volunteer here. 9:30AM – 12:00PM or 1:00PM – 3:00PM. Thank you so much for your help!

Berry College Invitational

On March 4, 2026, our Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band will travel to Berry College to participate in the inaugural Berry College Wind Studies Invitational. The students will perform their LGPE selections for a world-class panel of educators, be coached by one of the clinicians, and receive feedback from the panel. Students will also watch Heritage HS perform their LGPE selections and attend masterclasses. It is an honor to have been invited, and we look forward to representing our school and community with excellence!
