This Thursday evening, May 2, 2019, our students will present our annual Spring Band concert in McGowan’s Barr Auditorium. The concert begins at 7:30PM, is free and open to the public. All are invited to attend!
Immediately preceding the concert at 6:45PM, the CHS Band Boosters will conduct their annual spring business meeting in the high school cafeteria.

Please join us for this brief meeting when you bring your student for the concert.
We look forward to seeing you Thursday evening!
