Game 6 vs. Clear Brook – Homecoming & Intermediate Night

Please help us welcome our intermediate school band brothers and sisters as they will be joining us for the run-through and dinner as well as the game this Friday night.

This is also our Homecoming game.  If you are not from Texas and don’t understand the homecoming mum phenomenon, that’s okay.  We don’t understand it either.  Nevertheless, students will be allowed to wear their mums in the stands.  They will carry their jackets and shakos into the stands.  Mums may not be pinned or attached to the uniform.  They will be removed before halftime and put on the benches.  After halftime, when the jackets are removed, they may put the mums back on.

A Message for Our Chaperones:

For this Friday’s game, chaperones need to be at CSHS in the hallway outside the band hall at 5:15pm for the pre-game meeting and assignments.  Please take time to review the chaperone handbook prior to the meeting.  We are so excited to have such wonderful volunteers and are appreciative of your time and service to our band.  See you Friday!

VLIS Alumni

VLIS band is playing at the district stadium for our one and only football game on Wednesday, October 28th.  We will arrive at the stadium around 5:30PM.  Come play with our band and relive the “Good Old Days” with Mr. R and Mr. D.   We’d love to have you come and play with us and it would give you a chance to meet with the future band members and tell them about the Charger band.  The music is easy and we’ll have extra copies for you when you arrive so come on over and play with us.

Besides, we really need you as half the football team is in the band and they’ll be on the field that night so we need your help.

Hope to see you there,

Mr. Randolph

Notes:

  • Students are not permitted to bring blankets on the bus (students may bring a jacket or sweatshirt to wear if they get cold in the air conditioning).  It may not be used to cover up.
  • The booster club will have mosquito spray on hand.  Students may bring their own if so desired.
Departure Preparation:
  • All instruments except Flutes and Clarinets go on the truck.  Trombones last on, first off.
  • Do NOT load flip folder on truck. This is checked during uniform inspection.
  • Load truck BEFORE eating dinner
  • Change into full uniform AFTER eating dinner.  Gauntlets and gloves should be worn.  Shakos should be in the hat box with the hat box open for inspection.
  • We will have uniform inspection in the band hall before departure.  Don’t get lazy and think you have everything because you have already been to several games.
  • Students will be lined up in rows by grade level.  Seniors by parking lot wall, then juniors, sophomores, and freshmen by hallway wall.  Please click here and read the Game Day Checklist (Full Uniform) to make sure you have everything.  Students will also need their pink gloves.  Students missing items will either be required to purchase a new item or will be sent home.  Make sure you have a garment bag to transport your uniform in on the bus.
Game Procedures:
  • Please read the section in the Charger Band Handbook regarding expectations at football games.
  • Remember that parents, friends, relatives, etc. are not allowed to bring food or drink to a band student at any time before, during or after the game. Any violation of this may result in the student being excluded from the marching band for the remainder of the year. We will be providing an apple or a banana after halftime. Anyone with a medical condition requiring an alternate dietary need should have already contacted Mr. Williams.
  • Students must ask a chaperone for permission to go to the restroom.  A chaperone will accompany them to and from the restroom.
Game Behavior Expectations:
  • Students are expected to treat the chaperones and other parent volunteers with the utmost respect and appreciation. Anyone who does not adhere to this will face disciplinary action.
  • While it is our intent to have a good time and enjoy the atmosphere that comes with Texas high school football, we are there to do a job. Remember our purpose is to support the football team and represent the school and community with dignity and class as well as act as the premier spirit organization on campus.  We also have a job to do at halftime entertaining the crowd and providing excellent support for the drill team during their performance. We are very confident we will succeed. With this in mind, please refrain from visiting with your child or bringing family members up to the band to see them. This goes for younger siblings of the band members as well
Post-Game Procedures:
  • We will send a text message as soon as we leave the stadium letting those know who aren’t at the game what time to pick their child up from CSHS.  Please plan to be there no later than five minutes before our texted arrival time. Do not park in drive lanes or against the curb.  If you see someone parking in these areas, please ask them politely to move as they will be in the way and delay the buses and truck from being unloaded.  The band parking lot will have plenty of free parking spaces.  
  • When we arrive at school each student is responsible for getting his or her instrument off of the truck and back into their assigned locker (or for pit, the pit room). Students who leave instruments on the truck will face disciplinary action the following week.
  • Once your instrument and uniform are put away, you are free to leave. Remember to take your belongings with you.  This includes your water jug, shako, gloves, shoes, garment bag, tote bag, undergarments and instrument.
