I hope you are all staying healthy and enjoying a wonderful summer!
As you may have learned by now CHS will be moving to a semester
schedule beginning this fall. As a part of the conversion process students
will be asked to re-tally for classes. When your counselors contact you
please remember to tally for both semesters of Band Class!
The semester schedule will allow you to continue to take Band throughout
all 4 years of your high school career, while taking all of the classes you
need to graduate and pursue your college education.. Please know that
schedules will work out in a way that allows Band to continue to be
an important part of your high school career.
Here is what it will look like:
1st Semester: Marching Band OR Concert Band
2nd Semester: Freshman Band (all 9th graders) OR Symphonic Band
OR Wind Ensemble
Many of the best Band programs in our area are at schools that have
semester schedules. While semesters means that students will take
fewer classes overall, it also means that you get to take an extra class
per term, which should make it easier to schedule year-long classes
alongside Band.
Please know that I am committed to providing students with a
safe and rigorous music education. After you receive instructions
from student services and your counselors feel free to reach out to
me with any questions
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
