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

2008-2009 CHS Blue Tones Jazz Band
The CHS Blue Tones Jazz Band will begin another year of jazz music. Rehearsals will be 3 days a week, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 6:45 am to 7:25 am.
New members, new music and new activities will be built into our expanding program. One of my goals this year is to create smaller ensembles within the Blue Tones. The smaller ensembles would be a rhythm section with 2-3 soloists. Our membership this year will provide multiple rhythm sections for various small groups. We will be invited to play more venues with our smaller groups.
Other changes:
• New ‘uniform’
• More festivals
• New music
• German Jazz Band visitation in the spring
• New Members
• Linus Pauling performance
The Blue Tones will be fee-based as in the past. Rehearsals will be September to June.
The fee schedule will be:
One annual payment: $260.00 = $260.00 Annual Cost
Semester payment: $135.00 = $270.00 Annual Cost
Monthly payment: $30.00 = $300.00 Annual Cost
(Checks are Payable to Marshall Price)
I am looking to a great year of creative jazz music and lots of fun with each of you,
Marshall Price

I’m Ken Chaney, director at Crook County High School, and just wanted to say how much I enjoyed your group. My kids talked about the last piece that you did most of the way home and I was wondering what the title/composer were as I can’t remember. Thanks, and again, great job.

Wonderful! Congratulations to both band programs! Lisa

It was a treat to listen to the band yesterday. I was amazed at the difference in the ensemble from last year. You all have been working hard!
