Dear Future CHS Band Member and Family –
Welcome to the Centerville High School Band! We are looking forward to having you as a member of this nationally-recognized band program. The Centerville band program's success is due to the hard work and dedication of its students, staff, and band families. In order to continue the high quality that the Centerville Band produces, fundraising is a necessity. The Centerville Band Boosters (CBB) are proud to support all band programs district-wide. As a parent of a band student you are automatically a Centerville Band Booster - welcome to the band family! Below is an outline of events and fundraisers that we invite you to participate in or volunteer for. Please note all event dates are approximate so please stay upi to date with PARENT SQUARE or check in on our website!

Soaring Sounds- Late July/Early August – This summer event aligns with the Marching Band's camp and is an ALL HANDs event. We are proud to be hosts of the finest competing DCI drm corps SINCE 1980! This is due greatly to a solid team of parent and student volunteers.

Basketball Concessions - Nov-Feb - The Band Boosters run the regular season basketball season concessions at CHS. We are lucky to have this opportunity given to us. We ask all parents to try to help with at least one game throughout the season (approx 18 home games total).
Poinsettia Sales - Emails for this sale are sent in the late fall. We work with a great grower to provide quality poinsettias to friends and family and raise funds for the program at the same time.
Thanks to the Centerville City School district, the Band Boosters are now using Parent Square to manage our group communications and volunteer sign ups. Be sure to have ALL of your emails and phone numbers registered with ParentSquare to stay up to date on communication from the band directos and booster club.
