Band Information

 Parent Guidelines
  1. The Band Hall is very busy before and after games/contests.  Parents are asked to wait outside the Band Hall for their child to leave unless assisting with loading, unloading, uniforms, supplies, etc.
  2. Inspection is time set aside for the Directors to prepare for the event at hand with the students.  Roll Call after the game/contest is the time for review of the performance and any related issues. Roll Call is for the Directors and Panther Band members only. All parents are asked to remain outside the Band Hall until Roll Call is completed.
  3. Don’t feed the Pit Dads!
  4. Please do not join your child in the stands at football games. Please see a chaperone if you need to see your child.
  5. Please be sure your child does not take valuables with them to football games and contests.  The buses are not secured or monitored.
  6. If your child needs to leave a football game or contest with you, be sure the Directors and Bus Captain are informed in writing in advance, and that your child checks out with a Director before they leave.
  7. While waiting for your child to return from an event, do not park in the curb/striped lane that is directly next to the Band Hall. This is the Bus lane and you will be trapped or towed!
  8. The ramp leading to the Band Hall is for the equipment trailer, so please don’t block that entrance.
  9. Band Moms (yeah, and Dads too) can cry at any performance – especially Senior parents.
  10. Do not enter or exit an auditorium or stadium’s bleachers during any band’s performance at a competition. We take pride at CHHS in adhering to proper etiquette at musical events.
  11. CHHS Band Parents chaperone the band for all events to provide support and look out for the safety and welfare of the students.  The Band members and Directors are responsible for monitoring behavior and handling discipline when necessary.
  12. The Band Boosters is an equal opportunity volunteer organization. You can sign up to be a Pit Mom or Chaperone Dad if you wish!
  13. And, last but not least, let the students take responsibility to get the job done.  They get plenty of opportunity to learn the rules and responsibilities of being a Panther Band member.  You will be amazed at what they can do!
