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
Marching Band Info:

Marching Band Camp starts Monday, 8/3.  The first week M-F the hours will be 8am – 11am.  The second week starting 8/10  M-Th the hours will be from 8am – 11am and from noon – 3pm each day.  There will be no evening performance on 8/13.  For health reasons, the boosters will not be serving food at camp.  Students may remain at school between the two sessions, but will be on their own for lunch. The tag day event we’ve run in the past between the two weeks of camp is cancelled.

All rehearsals will be outdoors.  If a forecast for severe weather is received, we will cancel rehearsal as indoor practices are not an option.  If severe weather sneaks up on us during practice, students will be allowed to shelter indoors until such time as they can be picked up or the threat passes.  All safety protocols (masks, hand washing) that were practiced during sectionals will still be in place for camp.  If a student is running a fever or exhibiting other symptoms consistent with the Corona Virus, they will be isolated from the rest of the group until such time as they can be picked up.
 
You will receive additional info about camp fees/performance attire in a separate email.  Fees have been reduced to reflect that the boosters aren’t feeding students, but we still need them to help with instruction/transportation costs.  We will not be practicing at all the week of 8/17-21.  Tues/Thurs 3-6pm will begin on 8/25.

It seems likely that so long as we have in person classes this fall we will have football games.  Several parades that we normally participate in, the Labor Day Parade and the Richmond Good Old Days Parade, have cancelled their events.  We still plan to perform at three marching band comps plus marching band festival, including the comp we host, so long as we can find events to attend.

Any questions, please direct to Mr. Hoey at thoey@cvs.k12.mi.us
