Materials

Certain Materials will be needed by each and every member of the CHS Marching Band. These materials are crucial to making every rehearsal run as smooth as possible:

• COMFORTABLE SHOES AND LIGHT WEIGHT CLOTHING: A majority of the time will be spent outside, please avoid dark clothing. No jeans, flip-flops, sandals, etc.
• BUG SPRAY: Mosquitoes are heavy this time of year.


• TOWEL


• WATER: a must! - Breaks are allowed on a regular basis for rest and rehydration. Please keep in mind that water can hydrate the body three times faster than Gatorade. Gatorade is a great idea prior to band camp and afterwards.
• HAT, SUNGLASSES, AND SUNSCREEN: suncreen with 30+ is recommended
• LUNCH: A hearty lunch with lots of carbohydrates (for energy)
• INSTRUMENTS (Reeds, drum line or pit need mallets or sticks, etc.)
• FOLDER, FlIP NOTEBOOK, PENCILS: Used for holding music and making changes to music and plots.
• POSITIVE ATTITUDE: that is Ready to WORK and have FUN! THE MARCHING TRUCKERS WORK HARD AND PLAY HARD
• MONEY: Vending machines are available.

Band Fees for 2011/2012 Marching Season

Because we are a competitive ensemble, we pay most of our own expenses. The school provides us with limited resources. We must raise funds for ourselves. This is done through band dues ($225) and fundraisers.

Marching shoes are required. They are $30 and are NOT included in your band fees.

Gloves are also required (except for percussion) and can be purchased for $5.00.
