You will need to be logged in with your @chipfalls.org login to be able to listen. "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:

This is the scoring guide for the essential question "How does an ensemble support a soloist?" Students answered this question in class during rehearsal.
"... 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 Hello Music Families,
We have some delightful Winter Concerts to look forward to this season--and even a little snow to get you in the mood! Please consider helping out by ushering one of the concerts. Ushers primarily have to stuff and hand out programs, and then keep an eye on the door to make sure that people only enter and exit between songs. One usher will actually be posted in the hallway, to monitor the doors from there, but the other 4 will be able to watch the concerts. Follow the sign up link below. As always, thank you so much for all that you do to help our amazing music programs, bringing out the best in all of our kids. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60b054bada62aa5fe3-winter Sherry Friedel Vice President, CFMA

Clarinet
Saxophone
Horn
Trombone
Euphonium/Tuba
Percussion
Varsity Band Fam: Below are some resources that might prove practical in your personal preparation of our concert music. Additionally, this is our rehearsal plan and practice targets. These will be shared with you in class, but the practice targets will help you focus your personal preparation. Farandole (Daehn)
On Joyful Wing (Sweeney)
African Holy Night (RW Smith)
Dear Music Parents,
We are in the last few days before the fabulous Supershow featuring our very own Harmonics, and WE NEED YOUR HELP!!! There are a few more volunteer slots to fill with concessions and later ushering, but we ESPECIALLY need help with donations of puppy chow and baked goods. I am told that these sweets are very popular and sell out fast. We are hosting a number of other area show choirs, and we want to make sure things run as smoothly as possible. Chi Hi has a great reputation of hosting events that are successful and where everyone feels welcome. Thank you to those of you already signed up-links are below! Looking ahead to the following Saturday, we are still in need of a handful of parents to help to prepare food for the singers involved in Singing in Wisconsin.

What a weekend - thank you to everyone who made the Big Trip a big success! A few quick housekeeping items as we wrap up our marching band unit:
We will be receiving the video from Youth in Music later this week and will share it with you. When the photos from Whitewater are available, we will also let you know about how to order those. Whew! Let me know if you have any questions. MR |
