Band Trip 2018!!!
This trip is to Toronto, Ont., Niagara Falls, Ont. and Kitchener for Canada's Thanksgiving Parade. The parade is similar to the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade here in the USA and broadcast on television all over Canada. It is another opportunity for travelling outside the US and making a name for CPPHS abroad!
The CPPHS Hawks Combined Band has been invited over many other bands because of how well we have performed at other events. This has not gone unnoticed! The directors and parent boosters have been very busy in getting the best way for us to go as a combined band. That means all members of the Performance Band and Competition Band will perform together in October of the fall season. We encourage you to join us, as this will be the only band trip this year.
The trip itself features many great attractions in Toronto and a night in Niagara Falls and should be a ton of fun and a great chance to get know your fellow band mates.
Deposit monies can be dropped off at the high school band office or at any competition band rehearsal or band camps. Checks will be made out to CPP Band Boosters. Below, you will also see information on student and adult documentation needs to cross the border into Canada.
Please read the attachment and if you have questions please contact the directors at [email protected], [email protected], or you can also contact our boosters president Ron Beck at [email protected]
