Pre-Participation Physicals

All students who will be participating in High School Band during the 2019-2020 school year are required by the district to have a Pre-Participation Physical which must be dated on or after April 1, 2019.  These Physical Forms must be on file by the first day of Summer Band (July 29).  Forms are available for pickup in the band office and available for download online by clicking HERE.  Students who do not have a current completed form on file in the band office will be sent home from summer band.

This physical can be performed by your family doctor or PA, or at any place that gives sports physicals. The physical forms are due the first day of Summer Band, but can and should be turned in to the band office if completed before the end of this school year. There will be an opportunity to get your physical at Clear Springs on April 23rd. Click HERE to download the flyer.

We were not able to get all the uniforms washed the last go ’round due to a lack of volunteers. We need to get the marching uiforms washed so that they can be closed out for the end of the year. There are many ways to help the band but this is one of the easiest! You can wash the uniforms in your home washer and dryer at your convenience. If you can help out, please sign up in Charms.

Click HERE to sign up!

Volunteers take 7-10 uniforms each home to wash. You will receive simple instructions on how to wash them, put them back together, and return them to school.

Winter Guard

After marching season, Colorguard moves into the wonderful air conditioning where we create a 3-5 minute show with a certain theme chosen by the director. Auditions and preparation for contest begin in late November, and carry on until the show concept is fully realized. In this show there are many elements of what we do during marching season present, but now with greater detail since the focus is put on guard only, as its own unit. We spin flag, rifle, and saber, and also include body movements and dance in our choreography. The guard performs to a track chosen, and often edited by, the director, that will relate to the meaning of the show.

To be able to see the show, Requiem of a Dream, students and parents can attend our final showcase this Wednesday, April 3 at 7:00PM in the CSHS competition gym.

Blessing of the Fleet

This Sunday, the Charger Band will be participating in Lakewood Yacht Club’s 64th Annual Blessing of the Fleet. This required event has been on the calendar since last May; the itinerary is listed below for your convenience. You can also find the itinerary by clicking on the event on the band calendar at cshschargerband.org.

CCISD high school bands have been asked to represent the school district at this event. Last year Clear Lake had their turn. This year it is our chance to participate. Students, staff, and chaperones will be provided lunch at 11:30. Following lunch, we will assemble and then parade over to the dock where the ceremony will be held.

This traditional naval ceremony dates back thousands of years and is still recognized as a way to formally bless vessels. In keeping with tradition, members clean up their boats and decorate their ships with festive flags, ribbons, and flowers. Traditional bagpipers and the Charger Band will entertain and provide ceremonial music throughout the event. A local reverend will entreat safety and good fortune upon the Lakewood Yacht Club fleet and members will christen (or re-christen) their boat by bathing the bow with a bottle of champagne.

The public is invited and is encouraged to dress in classy nautical attire for the occasion.
