It's hard to believe that we're already in the last week of September! The Regiment of Gold is making daily strides in their performance; I'm excited for our first show at Ayala HS on August 13th!
Donation #2 - $310 - Due Today! Thank you for the continued financial support! Because of your contributions we can do things like provide a top notch coaching staff for our students. T-Shirt Orders Due this Friday 9/28! We finally have our T-Shirts ready for order! See the design in the attachments below! The attached order form is for family, friends, relatives, pets, neighbors, and all supporters of CHS Music (students have already paid for their shirt with your contribution)! The cost is $20 each. Indicate the number of each size being ordered in the corresponding box, then write the total below. Make sure to write your Student ID# on the check AND the order form! All orders due this Friday, September 28th! Back To School Night Performance - Tuesday 9/25 The Regiment of Gold musicians will be performing the first two movements of our field show at the Back to School Night opening ceremony! Students will rehearse until 5:30 pm and then move directly to the West Gym to set-up for the performance at 6 pm. After, they will return their equipment to the band room and be free to leave. The CHS Music Boosters will be hosting concessions for the evening and we still need a few volunteers to help! Stop by to lend a hand or grab a bite to eat. Booster By-Laws Approved and Executive Board in Place! Congratulations and thank you to everybody involved in creating the Cerritos High School Music Boosters! I am thrilled to be working with dedicated parents as we continue the tradition of having one of the best music program experiences available. Public board meetings are every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 6:30 pm in the CHS Band Room. The next General Membership meeting will be on Monday, November 5th at 6:30 pm, in the Band Room. Homecoming & First Competition in Less Than 3 Weeks! Our first show at Ayala High School is coming up quick! We're currently slated to perform at 7:10 pm on Saturday, October 13th. I will be sending out the tentative itinerary with next week's update. Start making your homecoming dance travel plans now! Keep your instrument tuned up! Just like when a vehicle needs an oil change, instruments also need regular maintenance to function properly and avoid expensive damage. I strongly suggest taking it to a professional for a chemical clean and mechanical adjustments. Simply give the store a call to ask when you can schedule an appointment at a time when student's won't need the instrument for rehearsal and let them know when you need the instrument returned. Below is a list of local music stores; or take it back to the location you rented from. - Bellflower Music ~ (562) 867-6715 - Morey's Music ~ (562) 420-9532 - Long Beach Woodwinds and Brass ~ (562) 421-0509 Power to Cerritos! - Mr. Reider
