CHS Band weekly Update 10/20/24

Oct 20, 2024

Good Afternoon Band Family!


We did it! In one of the band’s best public performances the Marching Knights came away with a best in class music, best in class percussion, and 1st place overall group 3! The percussion even scored the highest score of the night! Way to go! The best part is that the marchers have expressed their frustrations in that they felt it wasn’t their best run, and they are right, they’ve had better runs in practice which only means that there is more room to grow. I’m happy to see that they can be excited about the win, but still want to do better. Get excited band family this is a special season.
