Scrap Metal Drive Volunteers and Info

This Saturday September 26, is our Annual Scrap Metal Drive (see attached for details) from 9:00am - 4:00pm in the Stadium Parking Lot.


This is a great opportunity for you to clean out the garage before winter and for our students and parents to help out the band program!


We need student and adult volunteers to make this event happen.  

Click Here to Sign-Up 


Volunteers will need to wear closed toe shoes and it is recommended that gloves be worn. Volunteers will help donors unload their scrap metal and put it in the dumpster.  It’s a fun way to earn volunteer hours and is also quite stress relieving!


Thanks for your consideration!

Student Survey

As soon as you are able to, we need all orchestra and band students to take
two minutes and fill out this important survey so that we can plan our instruction
accordingly:  Student Survey

If you have a few extra minutes after that, we would love to have as many
students as possible to do this short music preferences activity:  Music Preferences

Episode #7: "BTS or The Beatles" is now available from The Well-Liked Podcast. 
We had our first cooking lesson and CHS Guidance Counselor Mr. Hoffman was
a great guest.  Click to view Episode #7 and use the Audience Responses form
to comment.

Thank you!

Below are your JAZZ BAND announcements for the week of March 9.


-ALL EVENTS/REHEARSALS/MEETINGS ARE CANCELLED UNTIL AT LEAST APRIL 13.  
We are in new territory, so as Certain things become clear we will communicate with you


-Tomorrow (Monday 3/16) will be the only opportunity for students to pick up necessary items 
from the high school from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
I can confirm that orchestra/band students or their parents will be allowed to get their instrument during this time.  Your instrument represents a significant investment that you have made and it will be safer at home.
When you visit, the front office will send you down to get your instrument and expect you to return as soon as you have gathered your belongings to exit the building.  For everyone's health and safety, this will not be an opportunity to gather with friends or stay in the building.

-We will be providing what will hopefully be beneficial enrichment opportunities throughout the
Coming weeks.  Look for further communication on that soon via Charms, google classroom, and 
remind.


-BE SAFE, STAY HEALTHY, AND PRACTICE!
