State Marching Band Contest, Saturday, October 12  

We have received the schedule for the State Marching Band Contest which will be held at Dubuque Senior High's Dalzell Stadium, 1800 Clarke Drive, Dubuque. We will start the day with a 7:45 AM rehearsal at CFHS, including a full run of the show before loading up the buses for our departure. Kids will need to bring a sack lunch to eat on the road. We perform at 1:20 PM. We should be back home around 4:30 PM. 

 

Any parents taking their student after the performance, check out with either Mr. Engelhardt or Mr. Ramsey before departing. Prior to contest day, send a signed note to school stating that you will be taking your student following the performance.

 

We strongly encourage everyone to make the trip to Dubuque to hear the band. It's a beautiful stadium, both visually and sonically, and this will be the culminating performance of our fall season. The state music association does charge admission for this event: $12.00 for adults, $7.00 for senior citizens (62+), and $5.00 for students K – 12. Chaperones (up to three per bus) are admitted for free. One admission price gets you in to hear any of the marching bands that day.
