Pre-Camp Information

This year we have many new policies and procedures that we are required to follow. 
At this point we cannot have more than 100 students gathered for outdoor events. 
As such, pre-camp rehearsals will be broken into the following smaller groups and times.

Brass and Percussion: 9:00am-10:30am
Woodwinds and Colorguard: 11:00-12:30

Please Arrive 15 minutes prior to rehearsal start time so we can take your temperature
and ask you several questions. I will send a map of exactly where you will need to get
dropped off and where you will need to go shortly.

If there is inclement weather we will need to cancel rehearsal for the day, as students
are not yet allowed into the buildings.

the CCS Administration and follow current CDC, MHSAA, UIL, and State of Michigan
guidelines.  It is important the EVERYONE (parents and students) read this document
and understand it’s contents

A few highlights: (but please still click the above link and read)
-Students must wear a mask at all times prior to and after rehearsals
-Students must wear masks during rehearsals when they are not playing their instruments,
involved in high intensity movement, or cannot be socially distanced.
-Students must bring a Large FULL water bottle with their name on it.  We are not allowed
to provide sources of common food or water.  Water bottles are required of every student. 
-Students must remain socially distanced (6ft)
-There is to be no shared equipment. 

We know this is a lot of information.  We also know that Band students are the most intelligent
students in our school, and will be able to handle all of this with ease.  We will make it as easy
as we can for you, I promise! 

This is new for all of us. With information that will be changing on a regular basis we ask for your
continued patience and understanding as we work together to make this a great Marching Band
season!

MarchingBand: Leadership Team Announcement

We are proud to announce our 2020-21 Fighting Scots Marching
Band Leadership Team.  Band students are always the best, and
you never make decisions like this easy.  

As you well know, the end of last year and most certainly this
coming school year, are going to be unique in many ways. 
Due to this, we foresee many more opportunities for leadership
within our band program.  

Please know that if you applied, but you do not see your name
on this list, you WILL be utilized this season.  Mr. Wellfare and
the Drum Majors will talk to individuals as we get things rolling
in the coming weeks.

Thank you to everyone who applied!

Show Announcements

We are excited to announce our 2020-21 halftime show and know that
you are going to LOVE it! 

We know you will LOVE it because the theme is LOVE

We look forward to presenting the music of Beyonce, Queen, Led Zeppelin
and Joan Jett in a fast paced, fun and entertaining show that you are going
to LOVE learning and our audience will LOVE hearing!

Look for a link to download the music in your email later this week.  The music
by the above artists includes arrangements of “Crazy in Love”, "Crazy Little Thing
Called Love", "Whole Lotta Love", and "I Love Rock and Roll!"

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!


Communication Remind

Please make sure you sign-up for our remind text messages. 
We won’t over message you, but it is important that we have an
efficient fast way to communicate with students and parents.  This
will be especially important this year when things are changing often.


Due to the number of families involved in the Marching Band we
have two Remind groups, one for parents, and one for students. 
(Both will get the same messages, our free account limits group
sizes so I had to split it up in this way)
