May Camp

May 3-4, 2024

            May Camp is required for all members of the band, new or returning. Students will learn marching fundamentals and music for the fall marching show, try on uniforms, and order supplies for the fall. We have designed this experience to prepare you for success throughout the fall season. Camp attendance determines how many spots we will write for the fall field show, it is important that you attend camp to be counted! Saturday will conclude with a student performance.

Physicals

A physical exam is required for all marching band members. This is the same physical required for athletics. The easiest and most convenient option is the CHS Physical Event on Monday, May 6th from 4-5PM. If you cannot attend, any doctor can perform your physical, but must use the provided form.
