HELP!! Chantilly has the honor of hosting the District Band Performance this year. View Description.

CHS has a great reputation for handling this event and directors have complimented past parent boosters and CHS students for providing such a hospitable atmosphere for the weekend. We have a reputation to uphold!! If your child is in District Band, or even if he or she is not, please consider helping and respond right away. Your help is much appreciated.

A Coordinator is needed immediately.

Fundraisers

Macy's Gift Cards, a 10% profit, just like SCRIP. This allows our students to put 8% in their accounts for any orders they get from family or friends! We will start by collecting our first orders on Friday, November 22. Look for envelopes available in all of the rooms in the Music Dept. Our students need to take an envelope, order the quantity of cards they need in the denominations they need, complete the front of the envelope and turn this into Mrs. Walker or put it in the boxes located in one of the rooms in the Music Dept. All checks should be made to Chantilly Music Boosters. If the volume is great enough, we will earn 15% profit from Macy's. After we see what the response is to this program, we may need coordinators to collect envelopes from all groups represented in our Music Dept. Thanks so much for you help!
