NEW!!

 

Check out the great article in the Halls Shopper about the band!

 

Students must be in the band room by 5:30 P.M. Friday afternoon to prepare for our first football game against Webb. Students will get their T-shirts at 5:30 P.M. so they might wear them at the game.

The rest of the uniform is : Black shorts or pants with tennis shoes and white socks. Band shoes and black socks are not necessary for our "Hot Weather" uniform.

Students will need to bring flip folders and lyres to the game as well so that we can use these for stands tunes.

 

 

EVENT: WEBB FOOTBALL-HOME, August 21st.
DETAILS:   CHS vs Webb-Home.   Students will wear summer band uniform (band show shirt, black shorts/pants, marching shoes).  5:30 pm report time.

 

We still need about 5 more volunteers for Friday night's game. A couple of them only need to work about 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. passing out seat cushions. If you can do this DO NOT sign up on Charms to volunteer.

Call me at 256-6764.Jeff Heatherly

 

Just a happy reminder that band fees must be paid! They are $225.00. Please make your checks out to Central High School.  Right now we have less than 10% that have even made some sort of payment on this.  Also, forms must be turned in. We need the Fee Agreement form, medical form, and field trip permission.   Students CANNOT go to away football games without the permission slip and medical form!  The first away football game is August 28th.
