We will be wearing the Summer Uniform for the football game and our Full Uniform for the contest.  Please use both Game Day Checklist (Summer Uniform) and Contest Day Checklist:

Notes:
  • At the game there will be no restroom breaks until after we are settled into the stands.  Everyone should use the restroom before we depart before and after the game.
  • Students need to use the restrooms before we depart for the contest as their will not be an opportunity to use the restroom until after our performance.

Please come and support the band and encourage any other friends/family to come to the contest as it is always more enjoyable for the students to perform at a contest with a large cheering section made up of  family and friends.   Family and friends can show their support by cheering louder than any other band’s supporters.  We should hear an especially loud cheer both when they announce our band at the beginning of our performance and at the conclusion of our performance.  Applause is also needed after solos, section features, and big musical or visual moments.  This is not like concert season.  A lot of applause is highly encouraged.

Admission is $5 per person over the age of 6 (under 6 is free).
Spectator parking is free and available off of Sheldon Rd.  Additional parking will be provided across the street in the Early Childhood Center parking lot.  The spectator entrance is located at the south end of the stadium.

CCISD Honors the Heroes of Harvey at Home Opener

As the 2017 football season home games kick off this Friday, CCISD wishes to shine the Friday night lights on the Heroes of Harvey, the first responders, as well as a community that stepped up in awe-inspiring ways. As many were impacted by the storm and may be experiencing financial difficulty, the District is offering free admission to all fans, heroes and helpers.

Donations to the CCISD Cares fund will be accepted at the gates. The CCISD Cares fund is directly benefitting CCISD families impacted by the storm by providing help with basic needs from clothing and food to toiletries and cleaning supplies. Donations of new school shoes and/or socks for boys and girls, ages 3 to 18, will also be collected at the gates.

Game Meal:

Game meals for playoff games were not included in the band payments, therefore we will be collecting $10 on Friday before the meal.  CASH ONLY! Students that do not reserve a meal and/or do not bring money will not receive a game meal.  COMPLETE THE  REQUIRED PLAYOFF MEAL SURVEY TO RESERVE YOUR MEAL!  

Please make sure that you read the game day checklist below BEFORE Friday or you will be very stressed.

  • Game Day Preparation, Procedures, & Expectations – read this so that you know what to and not to do. (e.g. – do not eat in the stands except for our 3rd quarter snacks or you will be suspended from the remaining football games.)
  • Game Day Checklist (Full Uniform) – read this to make sure you have everything.  Students missing items will either be required to purchase a new item or will be sent home.
Notes:
  • We will monitor the weather.  If it is cold, students will be allowed to wear letter jackets, black jackets, or black hoodies if needed.  They may also wear knit caps as long as they are black.
  • For this week and any future playoff games, we will be taking our equipment in a box truck.  The Charger Band trailer will remain at school.  It is highly recommended that students who have to put their instrument on the truck (anyone who does not play flute or clarinet) purchase a luggage strap to secure around the case to keep it from opening during transit.  This is similar to the request we make when we travel by air on our spring trips.

Football Playoffs Heads Up

As we approach the final two games of the regular season, it is time to look ahead to the playoffs.  In Texas, four teams from each football district advance to the playoffs.  The teams are then divided into Division I and Division II based on their enrollment numbers.  The two schools with the highest enrollment compete in Division I while the other two compete in Division II.  This means that there will be two champions for Class 6A.

Based on the current standings, Dickinson, Clear Creek, and Friendswood are in the playoffs.  We will clinch the final playoff spot if we win at least one of our last two games or if Clear Brook loses one of their last two games.  According to UIL enrollment numbers, we will be in Division I with Dickinson.

What does all of this mean to the band?  We are required to go to all football games including the playoffs.  Plan on an additional football game the weekend of November 13-14.  The game site and kickoff time will be determined when all of the districts solidify their playoff spots.  It is possible we will not know a day or location of the game until Monday, November 9.  If we win, we will repeat this scenario until we lose or until we win the state championship which takes place at 4:00 PM, December 9, at NRG Stadium (Home of the Texans).

We will continue to serve a pregame meal.  Details about this will be shared at a later date.
