Good morning CFHS Band Fam!
The day has arrived - fruit delivery! I know you have been anxiously watching this day approach on your calendar just as I have - it is it's own mini holiday! We are hoping to organize pick-up a little differently this year to both help keep things moving slowly and to cut down on pick-up errors. We suggest the following timing for order pick-up: 3:00 pm: Anyone with $500 or more in sales 3:30 pm: Students with 1-2 boxes (or a few more if riding the bus) 4:00 pm: Last names A-L 4:30 pm: Last names M-Z If 4:00 pm works for you but your last name is Renneke, we won't turn you away. Thanks in advance for your patience and understanding as you pick-up your fruit. We could still use a few more volunteers to help confirm orders. The money is due Wednesday, December 19th and checks should be made out to CFHS. MR "Concert dress" is the term used to describe what to wear for a particular performance. For football games and marching competitions, our concert dress is our marching band uniform. For our more formal concert performances in the auditorium, our concert dress is what we in the music department lovingly call "concert black". We ask students to wear all black, formal clothing. That means black dress pants and a black dress shirt. It might also mean an appropriate-length black dress, or a nice black sweater with no writing. Black jeans and a black hooded sweatshirt would not be appropriate for the formal nature of our concert performances. Things to Consider:
Examples of Appropriate Concert Black:
 Examples of Inappropriate Concert Black:
"... the best atmosphere in the Big Rivers Conference."-- 103.1 WOGO RadioStudents receive 2 points per game towards earning a letter in band. Attendance at basketball pep band is encouraged as we support our teams and provide an incredible atmosphere for home games. All of the games on this schedule start at 7:15pm. Pay attention to announcements at school and in class for changes to this schedule. Playoff games will be determined as they arise.
CFHS Band Fam:
First, I want to wish you all a restful break next week. Parents, you should hear lots of practicing from your students as they prepare on their own for our concert which is rapidly approaching. Second, if you are planning on traveling with the music department on our Performance Tour to New Orleans, please double check that your name is on the attached list. If you think are going on the trip, and your name isn't on the list, please get in touch with Ren right away. In the next few days I will be going through the money turned in with today's 2nd Payment and your students will be receiving an updated statement in their email. Finally, remember that the fruit order forms are due on the MONDAY we return from break. Hit your family up for some fruit around the Thanksgiving table. Let me know if you have any questions! MR Good evening CFHS Band Family:
We are in the final two weeks of our marching band season - it is amazing how much the show has come together, the students have improved, and the time has flown by! A nearly-officially-complete itinerary for October 13-14 has been posted on the website. www.cfhsbands.org/itineraries It is going to be an amazing weekend! We do need some parent help to make sure things run smoothly and keep us moving on schedule. (First, thank you to the parents who have already volunteered as chaperones and on-field help for these final few performances!) We are looking for 2 more parents who would be willing to drive down to Sun Prairie and help set-up and prepare dinner. The band will be coming from Minneapolis and when we arrive in Sun Prairie we will have dinner ready to go. There are 4 people already driving directly to Sun Prairie, so you would have plenty of hands to make light work. Dinner is hot dogs, fruit, chips... easy stuff. If you would be willing to help, please let me know this week so we can plan accordingly! Thanks for considering. This season has been so special already - I can't wait to see what the next two weeks bring! MR Hello Parent Volunteers,
Our Music Along the Chippewa Home Show event is this Saturday! Thank you so much to the MANY people that have stepped forward to donate their time and other items needed to make this day a success for our music department! We have a FEW key spots that need to be filled by Saturday: MOST IMPORTANT!!! We need 5 more people for the later concessions slot, beginning at 7:30. Please, Orchestra and Choir parents, step up to fill this spot. This is the time that the Marching Cardinals actually perform, so band parents would like to be watching their students. We need 2 driveway gatekeepers to manage the gate as bands are getting ready to enter the stadium area. We still need 2 kitchen helpers from 6-10. We need one more pie tent attendant for the second time slot When you arrive for your shift or to bring your items, please check in at the volunteer tent near the concession stand. Food items can be checked in at the volunteer stand as well. If your donated item/food is for the hospitality room, you can then drop it off in the cafeteria area inside the school. The volunteer check in people will direct you. Again thank you all so much. We would not be able to host this successful and amazing event without your help! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4fa5a729abff2-marching Sherry Friedel Vice President, CFMA Hello CFHS Band Fam!

MR Hello Music Parents,
Welcome to the beginning of a new music season at Chi-Hi! We are so fortunate in our community to have an outstanding music department with exceptional directors guiding our young musicians! The Chippewa Falls Music Association, or CFMA, is a booster club for the entire Chi-Hi music department. Composed of parents and music directors, the main purpose of CFMA is to increase the opportunities for students through our financial support. If you are a parent of a music student at Chi-Hi, you are automatically a member of CFMA, and we would LOVE your support. We will be asking for your help at various events throughout the school year. Our main fundraisers include our Sponsorship Booklet, Marching Band Home Show, Mattress Sale, ENCORE! and concession stands at various music events. Last year, proceeds from these events allowed us to give back $33,000 to the music department! So, how can you help?
If you have any suggestions or questions, please feel free to speak to one of the CFMA board members. Our first CFMA meeting of the year will be Monday, September 10th, at 7:00PM in the Chi-Hi Choir Room. If you would like to become more involved in our organization - JOIN US at this meeting. We are excited for a fun year! Annalie Thies, President Sherry Friedel, Vice-President Misty Belonge, Treasurer Heidi Adams, Secretary We are excited to be working with A to Z Embroidery to offer you a variety of ways to support the Marching Cardinals on the road! We'd love to have a sea of supportive parents and friends as we compete this season looking good in some new Marching Cardinals season swag. You can fill out an order form for a variety of items by printing the image below, or grab a paper copy on the band office door. Orders are due Wednesday, August 22. We have about a dozen uniforms left that need to be washed. If you can help, please get in touch with Mr. Renneke. Finally, remember that parade details for this Saturday's parade can be found on the Itineraries page under the PARENTS tab at the top of the website.  |
