ALL
BANDS - No Rehearsal
Monday, September 4—Labor Day
Thanks to all the students who
participated this summer. Your attendance was amazing and your
performances were awesome. Thanks for a WONDERFUL SUMMER.
If Denver Public Schools
cancels due to weather, CHBA will also cancel band at Grant Ave.
If schools are closed in your attendance area, due to weather or a week
long vacation, that center will also be closed.
WE NEED
YOUR HELP!
The board of directors has many
new activities and they would like to involve our membership. Please
sign up for a committee that is of interest to you. The demand on your
time would be minimal unless you choose to do otherwise. Lots of hands
make less work for everyone.
Please complete this form and
return by the week of September 24, 2006:
INVITE
A FRIEND TO JOIN BAND
If you know of a young person
who is interested in music, tell them about your experiences in CHBA!
The majority of our new members join because they “heard about” CHBA
from one of our students! New classes listed below.

CURRENT
EMAIL ADDRESS?
Make sure we have a current email address for you or you
will not receive all the Colorado Honor Band information you need. If
you do not have access to email, please also inform us and we will put
our communications in the mail.
ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students in Advanced Band,
Symphonic Band and Symphony Winds must notify the CHBA office of their
absence. Do not tell the Sectional teacher—call the Office. An
unexcused absence (no phone call) will result in the student losing a
chair. If a student is on leave for an entire semester, and has
notified the office, upon return, the student will be seated at the end
of the part earned at auditions.

September 11. Any student in the Advanced Band, Symphonic Band, or

Band Tour– 2007
CHBA is Now Going to Hawaii!
Due
to the increase in price, the trip to the British Isles has been changed
to Hawaii. We chose Hawaii because it was the second choice among
members. Students going into the 6th grade (by 2007) and play in
Advanced Band, Symphonic Band, or Symphony Winds may sign-up.
View the trip itinerary HERE
There are only a certain number of spaces
open and they are filling FAST!
