The biggest things to notice; June & July workshop times are from 2-6 pm and a slight change in rehearsals once school begins. During the Fall semester weekdays we will rehearse on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 3:00 to 6:00 pm. This gives students an extra weekday to focus on academics and take care of any other personal responsibilities (doctors appointments, tutoring, etc...). We will make up for it by adding an extra half-hour to each weekday rehearsal and by adding 2 extra Saturday rehearsals during the season. The staff and I agree that this will help students achieve a better balance between the rigor of academics and the hustle of marching band season. Please mark your calendars now to avoid any rehearsal conflicts. Regiment of Gold Contributions 2019 Also attached is the monetary letter for this season. Notice that the first due date is coming up soon, Monday, June 24th! It takes a good deal of support from its members for a marching band to be competitive. One of the main reasons that the Regiment of Gold has a tradition of excellence is because past families have taken ownership of the financial responsibility. Fundraising opportunities are available, such as the Fireworks Sales happening now! This years contributions will pay for the Fresno Championships Trip, your student's costume, feeding students at competitions, and much more. It has been a year of growth. Thanks for all of your support! - Mr. Reider Greetings CHS Music community and welcome to the new-member parents who are receiving the weekly update for the first time! Lots of important information today, slightly longer update.
