Our CBHS Marching Band did a wonderful job marching in the Cocoa Beach Parade! Thank you to the parents who helped prepare the golf cart display and who worked at the Parade.

Upcoming Events:

Winter Concert December 19th. 7:00 pm @ Satellite High School
Students need to arrive at 6 pm. Seating will begin 10 minutes before the show.
Concert Band – Please see Blog entry for uniform guidelines and photos: In case you are wondering who is modeling the uniform, it is Chuck Morris (my son) back in his Concert Band days! He is now in Wind Ensemble. Concert Band Uniform Blog link: http://cocoabeachbandboosters.blogspot.com/2007/12/concert-band-uniforms.html

Band Fundraiser: Winter Concert Dec. 19 “Preferred Seating”.
While we are happy to offer a “Free Concert” this winter, (many schools charge entry fees for all of their shows) we will have a much needed Band “Fundraiser” to generate income for band music and other band needs.
“Preferred” seats are $5.00 each or $20.00 maximum per family. Preferred seats are located in the first few center rows behind the student seating.
For example: A family of 4 plus 2 grandparents may have 6 seats for $20.00. Preferred seating will be sold “first come, first served”. I encourage you to send your check as soon as possible.

Please send your check to Mr. Brooker payable to “CBHS Band Boosters” with your name and total seat reservations written on the check. At the night of the concert, please check in with myself or Dale Vicos at the reserved seating table and pick up your reserved seating tickets. You will turn them in to Dale Mosher at the Preferred seating area to obtain your seats.

You can email me or call me with any questions ClaudiaCDavis@aol.com 960-2577.
