Band Program Friends

We have some great friends of the CVHS band that have helped our organization mostly with our Tag Day, Click here for a list of the business that have helped us over the years.. Without their support we would not be able to do some of the wonderful things we do for our Kids!!

CVHS Pay-to-Play

Yes Marching band is considered a sport, therefore there is a pay-to-play fee. Not to be confused with the Band Camp fees, pay-to-play goes to the district.

To make your on-line pay-to-play fee click Pay-to-Play . When you are on the pay-to-play site chose "Marching Band Chippewa HS Fall"

This link will take you to PaySchools. If you have not used PaySchools before you will need to register for an account.

NOTE: The school requires this to be paid in addition to the Booster fees.

Important Announcements

The band is going to NYC!!!
Dear Band Parents,

The NYC trip has been approved by the school district and our travel company is now accepting registrations for student travel. Attached is information regarding the trip, including a payment schedule, trip insurance, and how to register for the trip. TRIP INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! If your plans should change and your student is not able to travel, CVHS Bands and the CVHS Band Boosters will not be liable to reimburse your trip expense. At this time we are only accepting trip registrations for students in the CVHS Band/Choir programs. Registrations will open up on July 1st for family members wishing to travel. The number of travelers is limited. Once that limit is reached, additional individuals wishing to go will be placed on a waiting list.

To register for the trip, please check your email that you receive booster email through. The steps have been listed there.

All band/choir students register for the quad rate @ 160 students - $1329 total. The amount of the deposit is $100. The band will be doing fundraisers during the school year with the purpose of helping students raise money towards the trip. Once fundraised money is posted to the student accounts, parents may direct the booster treasurer to pay those amounts to Bennett Travel for their student. Booster account money can only be paid for band student travel, not other family members. Family members should register for the room size they need (Single, Twin, Triple, Quad). Band students will be rooming with other band students, not family members.

Band Camp 2023 Dates
Band camp will be held at the high school from 8am-4pm daily Monday to Friday. This year's dates are July 31 through August 10. You must be present for all of band camp to have a spot in the show, these two weeks are where we learn most of the music and drill for the season.

After band camp, regular 3pm-6pm practices will begin on Tuesday, August 22 and continue on Tuesdays and Thursdays until the end of the season (approximately end of October). These practices are also required of all members. We perform as an ensemble and can only achieve our highest level of performance if everyone is present at all rehearsals. Everyone is an important part of the show.

Current Fundraisers
We are excited to officially announce our first individual fundraising opportunity for the upcoming trip to New York. Students can sell ad spaces to businesses for the SMB program that we are putting together to be sold and distributed at the SMB show that we host on October 14th.

The links are below for the flyer and order sheet which provide additional details on the fundraiser. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to make up to 70% of the proceeds of the ad sales. Ad sales will run through September 28th.

This is a completely voluntary fundraising opportunity if you'd like to earn some money to pay towards your trip.  If a student sells an ad and IS NOT going on the trip, those funds will go to the general fund of the booster program which supports the entire band and guard program.

If you have any questions please reach out to Jeremy Suydam at (586)453-1690 or email at cvhsbbpresident@gmail.com
