Seeking Sponsors!

Friends of CHS Band is still looking for a few more sponsors for the band t-shirts and programs. For $100, your logo, event, special dedication will be prominently displayed on the back of the WIBC t-shirt, the basketball pepband t-shirt and in all the concert programs.

Do you own or know of someone who owns a business? Do you have a special someone or event you would like to recognize in place of a logo? Not only will you receive advertising, you will be supporting CHS's growing band program.

The money raised by sponsors also helps provide t-shirts for those students who may not be able to contribute the entire cost of their t-shirt.

For more information, please contact Yuki Tanaka at: yuki.fcb@mac.com

Oct 22nd - Spaghetti Feed & Field Show

Please join the Friends of the CHS Band for a family spaghetti feed on Wednesday, October 22nd. The dinner starts at 5:30 pm in the CHS cafeteria and concludes before the field show at 7pm. We have important information to distribute for the school year. Please plan to attend as we have very few opportunities to connect with band families!

We are looking for 10 volunteers to bring spaghetti sauce in a crockpot and/or 12 loaves of french bread. An easy sauce recipe will be provided or bring your own favorite sauce. Salad and pasta will be provided by Friends of the CHS band.

Please RSVP to friendsofchsband@gmail.com how many will be attending and if you can bring bread or sauce.

We look forward to seeing you there!
