Help us dress The Marching Cavaliers in NEW uniforms!
After 25 years, the CHS Marching Cavaliers are in dire need of new uniforms — some estimates say closer to 30! The current uniforms have been altered through the years to the point they are in a state of disrepair. Despite our boosters program, additional funds for these uniforms are crucial to the band’s growth and continued success. We appreciate a contribution of any amount to support these efforts. Please rally behind The Marching Cavaliers, help them reach their goal, and give these talented students the new uniforms they deserve!
Would your business like to be a sponsor? We have incentives for different levels of tax deductible sponsorships. Parents, do you have ideas for fundraisers and/or are willing to organize an event? Email or call for details: chsmarchingcavboosters@gmail.com or (765) CHS-BAND. - Thank you!
