You are cordially invited to celebrate Middle School Band Night with the CHS Marching Bulldogs!! Middle schoolers in 6th, 7th and 8th grades in the Chamblee District are encouraged to come and experience a night as a member of the Chamblee High School Marching Band, which includes Instrumentalists*, Percussion, and Color Guard.
Students will come to Chamblee High School after school on Friday, September 20, at 4:30pm, for the football game at North DeKalb Stadium. Chamblee will face off against Woodward Academy, kick off at 7:30pm.
Once students arrive, they will check-in and receive a CHS marching band t-shirt if needed. (If you have one from last year, feel free to wear it!) After check-in, they will place any personal items in a designated area in the band room for safety (we discourage backpacks, if you are able to grab your student's backpack prior to the game, please do so). They will find their musical section or the Color Guard group and meet the band members. We will serve pizza for dinner then line up and parade into the stadium as part of the Marching Bulldog Band! Members and students will perform a pregame show as the football team runs onto the field, play stands tunes during the game, and watch the band halftime show. After halftime, ALL students will head to the band room to collect their personal items and check out. 8th graders are strongly encouraged to stay for the duration of the game and shadow the high school students. Any student with their parent/chaperone (mandatory) is welcome back to the stands with the band for the duration of the game.
All middle school students who play an instrument* should bring it. (No double-reeds, please!) Tuba players can try on a sousaphone, and anyone can try their hand at twirling a color guard flag.
Parents are more than welcome to come hang out with us for the night too. We are looking for one chaperone for every 5 students, so please sign up. Parents wishing to see the game but not chaperone will have to purchase tickets to get into the game. Additional family tickets can be purchased at the stadium or online in advance through GoFan (make sure to purchase "Varsity Football" tickets!).
Please RSVP by registering online so we'll have enough T-shirts and pizza for everyone. Payment is due with your registration, no later than Tuesday, September 17th. You may pay online, using the Affinipay option above. You may also pay with cash at check-in on September 20. If you are a parent interested in chaperoning, please indicate on the form, and we'll contact you soon. If needed, scholarships for the $20 fee are available, contact Band Night Coordinator for more information.
