2nd Annual CHS Outdoor Marching Concert!


Wednesday, October 21st



The talented CHS Marching Band will perform an evening concert at 7:30pm, Wednesday evening.  The show will begin with the Linus Pauling 8th grade band.  Concert attenders will then be treated to this year's halftime marching program, featuring memorized music from Earth, Wind and Fire.
Students, section leaders and our student directors have been preparing this show since last August and have put many hours of hard practice in preparation of this event.  Let's applaud their efforts with a good attendance so their success can be heard!  This performance will also be recorded as an audition submission to perform at Disneyland in April.
During the concert, CHS Band Seniors will be recognized, as well as the 24 student musicians who qualified to participate in this year's WIBC convention, which will be happening November 20-23.
This is an exciting time in CHS Band History, please join us!
