YOU helped us dress The Marching Cavs in NEW uniforms for the 2026 Fall marching season!
Thanks to ALL of your contributions, the support for these efforts went well beyond what we could have expected. THANK YOU for rallying behind The Marching Cavs, and in helping them reach their new uniform goal! These talented students WILL have the new uniforms they deserve for the upcoming 2026 fall marching season!
Every note, every step, and every performance by the CHS Marching Cavaliers is made possible through the dedication of our Band Boosters and the support of our community. Without system-funded resources, the program’s annual operating needs are fully supported through fundraising and contributions.
Your support helps provide students with opportunities to learn, perform, and be part of something bigger than themselves. Thank you for helping us continue to build a program that our students and community can be proud of.
