Friends of the Band

​We have some great friends of the CVHS band that have helped our organization
 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.

Announcements
    2025 Marching Band Season
    The new season is approaching fast...here are some important dates to remember:

    May 6, 13 & 20 - Spring Practices 6-8pm.  Meet in the band room, bring your instrument and wear comfortable clothing and athletic shoes.  A NEW parent meeting will be held on May 20th at 7pm in the Auditorium.

    Band Camp will be July 28 - August 1 and August 4 - 7 from 8am - 4pm at the high school.  This camp is mandatory for anyone planning to march the 2025 season as it is where they will learn most of the show.  Lunch will be served daily by the band boosters - watch your email for additional information and how to donate food items or volunteer to help out.

    Regular season practices will begin on Tuesday, August 19 and last until October 23rd.  The band will practice EVERY Tuesday and Thursday during this time from 3-6pm.  These rehearsals are very important for all members to be in attendance.  Please refrain from scheduling any other activities during this time.

    Marching band is open to all students enrolled in a band class during the regular school day with Mr. Hoey.  Members of the colorguard do NOT have to be enrolled in a band class.  No experience is necessary for the colorguard - there will be summer practices to help train and prepare for the fall season.

    Disney Trip 2026

    The band will be travelling to Disney in March of 2026.  All members of the band and colorguard are invited to go.  Please contact Mr Hoey at [email protected] with questions and for additional information.
