Hello CFHS Band Fam!
I'm looking forward to getting back to our Wednesday Summer Band rehearsals, tonight at 5:00pm! Each summer they clean out the music department, and that is currently underway. Because of this, we MAY not have access to the band room, depending on whether they have started waxing the floors or not. Tonight's rehearsal will be outside and we will be working on marching fundamentals! Be sure to bring the following:
Let me know if you have any questions! I'm very excited to get back to work! MR This information was shared with students in class over the last few weeks.
High school students will be wearing their uniforms. You will need your white uniform shirt and black socks and shoes! MEMORIAL DAY PARADE 9:15am Meet at BMO Bank/Central Lutheran parking lot 10:00am Parade line-up 10:15am Parade step-off ~10:45am Parade end The parade “ends” in Irvine Park. Parking in the pool lot would be smart. ~11:00am Ceremony begins in Irvine Park. Only the Symphonic Band plays for the ceremony. Varsity Band is dismissed at the end of the parade, or can stick around to play kickball/Big Base afterwards. ~11:15am Ceremony ends ~11:30am Big Base/Kickball As part of the constant improvement of the Chippewa Falls High School band program, the Leadership Team has been having conversations around the student leader selection process, organization and structure, and the overall format of our Leadership Team.
In order to roll out these proposed changes and gather feedback, there will be Leadership Team meeting during Prime Time on Thursday, March 14, 2019. There are two documents being posted here for you to review before the meeting next week. Leadership Team Selection Process Leadership Team Roles & Responsibilities Any interested student is welcome to join us - whether you have been involved in the Leadership Team in the past, are interested in applying for a leadership role, or land somewhere in between.

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!

Mattress sale is on October 20 - you can earn CASH for referrals - more information on Friday!!! 7. You can make a video recording of you playing the opener/ballad segments for the music check. That might be easier for you, and it is an option. Please have it done by Friady, 9/21. MR https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0e4fa5a729abff2-marching
Attention Chippewa Music Parents: Thank you to those AMAZING parents who have already signed up to work and to donate food and other items for our Music Along the Chippewa Band Home Show. October 6 is just around the corner, so please consider signing up if you have not already. There are a number of needs yet to be filled, and we especially need workers for the later concessions slots and to work in the hospitality room. We are encouraging choir and orchestra parents to look at working all of these slots so that band parents can watch their kids on the field. Look at your schedule and call a friend! This is a fun way to support all of the outstanding performing groups at Chi Hi, so let’s get this done! Looking ahead, Music Parents, please mark your calendars for October 20! What is October 20? It is the famous mattress sale coming to our own Chi-Hi. If you or anyone you know may be looking for a mattress, this is your chance to buy a mattress and support your favorite music program at the same time. More information on this to follow on another day. Sherry Friedel Vice President, CFMA CFHS Band Family:
