These are commonly asked
questions about the band program at Centennial High
School.
Can I be in the
Spartan Regiment and Athletics? YES! Several
students participate in Band & Athletics. The only
scheduling conflicts are with morning marching
rehearsals and 1st Period Wind Ensemble and Boys
Athletics. The Boys Athletics Coaches and Band Directors
will make arrangements to allow anyone who wishes to
participate in both the ability to do so.
I am registered for a
concert band. Am I expected to march? Yes. All band
members are part of the Spartan Regiment Marching Band.
Is marching difficult?
Marching is no more difficult than many other
activities. Many discover marching can be quite fun!
Are there fees to
participate in band? Yes. Unfortunately, the school
cannot cover all expenses with regard to the band
program. You will be assessed fees mostly for items you
will keep, i.e. T-Shirts, Shoes, etc., as well as
services such as uniform cleaning. Fundraising
opportunities are available to assist you with your
financial obligations.
Does the CHS Band take
Spring Trips? Yes. We will be taking Spring Tours on
alternating years with the BHS Band. Our trip
years are the Odd-Even School years, for example
2011-2012, so we will go on a trip in the Spring of
2012.
