CVHS Bands Trip Page
Every other year the “Big Reds” Marching Band travels to competition festival at a distant location to demonstrate the quality of the music program at CVHS and to provide the kids a chance to see shows from other units outside of the local area. In the past we’ve traveled several times to Hawaii & Florida, and in 2010 are planning another trip back to Florida during spring break.
