Hi, hey, hello!
Happy November! With marching band season wrapped up, and concert band season on the way, please see the end of this email for some important dates! Marching Season THANK YOU to everyone who was able to help in any way this marching season! Without our parent volunteers, the marching band does not function. In whatever way you were able to assist, thank you, thank you, thank you! For those who were unable to assist, or in any way deterred from assisting, please consider helping next year. WE NEED YOU! Mr. and Mrs. Gross are communicable and reliable and can answer any question you may have from a parent-volunteer standpoint. Butterbraid Fundraiser + Factory Mattress Direct Fundraiser Factory Mattress Direct held a one-day fundraiser for the Marching Eagles on October 22. We made $515.24! We appreciate the support of one of our town's merchants and are looking forward to making this an annual event. We have made a little over $3,000 from Butterbraids this year. Thank you to everyone who participated! Pick-up will be Next Wednesday, November 9, from 2pm-6pm in the CMHS Auditorium. As these items are frozen, please make sure your items are picked up and delivered in a timely manner. CLICK HERE to see if your child sold any items. New Marching Band Uniforms Our new marching band uniforms have been ordered and have started to be shipped! This past week, we received our new shako hat boxes (they have purple lids!) Over the next few months, parts of our uniforms will start to arrive. I cannot wait to see them on our students! We will be selling our old marching band uniforms. More information to come about this! Consider going to the Craft Fair this weekend to learn more! Pep Band Pep Band is coming up! Pep Band is required of all band students. A typical pep band evening looks like this: - Arrive at CMHS, warm-up in the auditorium - Move to the main gym; break time during JV game - Play in between JV and varsity game; play National Anthem and School Song - Depending on the game, we will either 1) leave after playing National Anthem and School Song or 2) leave after halftime of the varsity game. Dress for pep band is the polo (with jeans/pants). Students may also wear the band jacket. You can find a list of pep band dates at THIS LINK. December 20 - CM Band Tour to Meadowbrook + Trimpe On Tuesday, December 20th, our CM band students will tour to Meadowbrook and Trimpe Middle School to perform for both schools. This is a wonderful recruitment tool for us! We will depart following finals and lunch that day, and then perform at both schools before coming back to CM, unloading, and then having an optional band dinner at a to-be-decided-upon location, where we will also have an optional White Elephant gift exchange. More details will be shared about this in class as we approach this date!
