8th Grade Night
8th Grade Night
8th Grade night was a HUGE success. There was so much laughter, joy, cheering, playing and camaraderie. Thank you to all of our parent volunteers and to Dr. Carr, Mr. Nelson, and the CHS Band Booster organization for spoiling us! The students were picked up in our school system’s charter busses, were fed dinner, and even given a free t shirt!
I have added the photos that I took from that night into a folder here and would love to see any photos that you all have from that night.
The CHS Band program is one of the top band programs in the state for both marching band and our ensembles inside. As you prepare your 8th grader for high school, we hope that you will come to us with any questions about high school band. We were over 200 strong on Friday thanks to our 8th graders!
Carowinds (8th grade only)
The Carowinds info is being sent out to all that fill out the following Jotform. This Jotform serves as the permission slip for the field trip.
I will email the information to all who fill out the Jotform. Please let me know if you have any questions.
