Indoor Percussion
Good luck to the Indoor Percussion on their last competition (prior to Championships) tomorrow at Conestoga Valley HS.

The band is having another restaurant night to bring in money to help replace our aging appliances at our Carlisle Fairgrounds concession stand! Come out on Monday, April 8 to eat at the Chipotle in Carlisle between 4 PM and 8 PM and get dessert at the Carlisle SweetFrog anytime between 1 PM and 9 PM!

Car Show Season Starts Soon!
Car show concessions generate our largest source of income and are a crucial part of supporting our marching band and music programs! Our first car show, Spring Carlisle, is April 24-28, 2019. No experience is needed for many jobs, and everyone who works earns money into a student account to help offset the cost of the band trip (and this is a TRIP YEAR)! This is a really busy show, so please help out and sign up for a shift or two.
Help is also needed cleaning our freezers on March 30, cleaning our concession stand on April 7, and doing pre-car show prep on April 22.
All signups and more information can be found on the Car Show Concessions page. If you have any questions contact our Concessions Committee at concessions@carlislehighschooolband.org.
