CBHS Marching Band Camp

Greetings All Returning and New Marching Band Members!

It’s hard to believe but summer break is almost over and you all know what that means … that’s right, Marching Band Camp!!

This letter is a reminder of the dates and times for camp, fees due and other items of interest.

We are including with this mailing a “Fee and Supply Order” form. Please fill this out and make your payments using one of the following options:
Send your form and payment with your student on the first day of band camp
You can use your credit card to pay online from our new “Charms” site. Go online to the band web site: www.cocoabeachband.com and locate the “Charms” picture/logo in the center of the page. Click on the “find out more” area and you will find complete instructions on how to use the Charms web site. We are also including instructions with this mailing. We are very excited about this addition to our accounting, record-keeping & communication methods. You will need your student’s “student ID” number, which can be found on their report card if they do not remember what that number is. New students may need to contact the school office or you may contact me at: brookerm@brevard.k12.fl.us.

The Band Camp Fee includes a band t-shirt and a show shirt and cap which the students will use at camp as well as in the stands at games and contests. We will be providing you with an opportunity to purchase these and other “spirit wear” items for parents and other family members after camp begins.

Due to renovations in our band room at the High School, we will be holding band camp this year at Roosevelt Elementary School next door. You should report to Roosevelt Elementary School Common Area at the appointed time:
