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!

We help the band students with several events:
MARCHING - AWAY GAMES
Load trucks before leaving
Unload and load trucks AT the away game
Unload trucks upon returning to school
MARCHING - HOME GAMES
Schedule and organize dinner (students usually do not have time to go home or go get food, so this makes it easier on them)
Fill and ice down waters in coolers
Pull coolers to stadium, then pass out water when band returns to stands after halftime show
Sign up for at least one concession stand duty at home Varsity or JV game
(band gets the profits from the concession stand which is a huge help to the General Operation Funds)
