Marching Band 2016 – 2017 Season – Uniforms
Dear Band and Color Guard parents:
Hello and welcome to the Chippewa Valley Marching Band 2017-2018 program. As a
parent/ guardian you are now part of the Chippewa Valley Band Booster Family. What
is a band booster? Simply put, because you are a parent or guardian of a child in
marching band, drum line, or color guard you are considered a “Band Booster”
allowing you to spend time with your child and help out where needed. What can you
do as a Booster? 1) Cheer on our band and color guard at parades, football games,
concerts and competitions. 2) Donate your time to help out at events, in the uniform
room, or chair a fundraiser. 3) Attend monthly booster meetings to find out what is
going on with the band and help out with planning or organizing the events. 4) You can
donate money or other needed supplies to support the kids as they put in a lot of time
and effort performing and representing their school. Join in you will have fun and meet
some great people and some really dedicated kids. Included in this packet you will find:
Order form of the required items for Marching Band and Color Guard uniforms
(summer and fall) along with the option to order optional apparel for the students
and parents (a.k.a. Band Booster)
Band camp information for the 2017/2018 Marching Band Season

Only one contact form is needed per family.
These forms need to be filled out for every student who is participating in Marching
