CONCERT ATTIRE FITTING INFORMATION
Our Marching season is in full swing with Friday night football games and our fast approaching competition season. Believe it or not, we need to start preparing for the upcoming concert season, which will kick off with a Veteran’s Day concert on Nov. 7th.
On Tuesday, October 3rd from 6:30 pm- 8:00pm we will be fitting students for concert attire. Once again this year the Squire Shop will be fitting the guys for tuxedo attire and the band uniform moms will fit the girls for concert dresses.
New students will need to secure the concert attire and returning students should check to be sure the concert wear they have still fits properly. All students are required to have Concert Band attire before our first concert.
If your student has gently used concert attire items like tuxedo coats, pants and dress shirts, or dresses and shoes that they will no longer be using please consider donating them to the band department or selling them directly to another band student. For those wishing to donate items please bring them to Mrs. Dothard in the band room before September 29th. If you would like to sell your items to another student plan to bring them to the band room on October 3rd during the concert fitting time. We will have a table set up for those wishing to try to sell their items.*
Students who order new items on concert fitting night will be charged for their items. Last years prices were $150 for guys and $100 for girls (these prices could be more this year, Mrs. Dothard will know the exact amount by Tuesday, Oct 3rd.) Students who buy used items from another band student will need to make arrangements to pay the seller directly.*
If you have any questions, contact the band room at: 770-834-0550 or email Mrs. Dothard at: barbara.dothard@carrolltoncityschools.net
*Disclaimers: The CHS Band, CHS Band Boosters or Carrollton High School does not guarantee, endorse, or warrant any of the items or transactions that take place between individuals selling/buying used concert attire. All deals, pricing, transactions, agreements, and claims are between the individuals who choose to participate in the event. All transactions will be conducted person to person via cash, check, or trade, without the involvement of the CHS Band, CHS Band Boosters or Carrollton High School. Those participating in transactions are doing so at their own discretion and risk.
Legacy Of Champions
We need you! Did you know that volunteering at the Legacy of Champions is actually expected of all of our boosters/parents? All band students are required to work the entire day and parents/band boosters are expected to work at least one volunteer shift during the event, but highly encouraged to commit to working the whole day. The success of our event takes the support and efforts of ALL of our parents/boosters. So please take a moment and visit our volunteer page: https://chstrojanband.com/volunteer/ and review all of the various sign-ups available for the event. There is something for everyone! The most important part is to just be involved, so please take time to sign-up today! https://chstrojanband.com/volunteer/
Trojan Band Shoppe
Cool nights finally? Maybe? Hopefully? That means it’s time to introduce a few new items in the Trojan Band Shoppe, beginning with the Bella + Canvas® Unisex jersey long sleeve tee hoodie.
This lightweight hoodie is meant for cool Fall practices or game nights as we continue to work towards playoff season! Would you like to see it up close and in person? Stop by the display during store hours to see it for yourself. Look for more new Fall items coming soon!

CHS Band Staff & Boosters
What an amazing weekend! I know that Michael already sent out a message thanking everyone, but I wanted to take a second and comment on the success of the Legacy of Champions! All of the volunteers were amazing! Some of you worked all day, going above and beyond what was asked of you! Thank you! Your efforts were appreciated and noticed. Whether you were taking up money in a parking lot , manning a gate, serving in hospitality, flipping burgers, cooking fries, loading and moving equipment, greeting bands, frying Oreos, selling blow pops, taking photos, cleaning up, counting money, stamping students, organizing trophies, directing people and traffic, working first aid, charging phones, reminding people to “hush”, or anything else that day, THANK YOU! Without each of you, the event would not be successful. We are blessed to have so many people support our Trojan Band. Now, I hope your feet have recovered and you have rested!
