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.

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. Stay tuned for section leader interviews and drum major auditions.

Spring Practice dates will be Tuesdays, May 2, May 9 (new parent meeting in Media Center) and May 23 from 6-8pm. Meet in the band room before 6pm.

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.
