Hello and welcome to CC!

Try outs consist of a four day band camp held in August. You receive a lot of instruction, support, and encouragement. My daughter is in the band and absolutely loved it! Since she is away on her study abroad, here are some thoughts from her blog. Best wishes to you on your college search!

“Over the summer, I decided to try out for the Marching Band because I really missed band after being in it for four years in high school. I thought I’d at least try, because if I didn’t I knew I’d always look back with regret. I ended up making it, and have had one of the best experiences of my life! Marching Band has opened up countless doors for me, and most importantly, it’s introduced me to some of the most incredible, talented, friendly, and fun people I know. The band is like one massive family in itself, and each of the sections is like a more tight-knit family with it’s own traditions and rivalries. It’s a huge time commitment, but it’s worth everything just to run out of that tunnel on game day. I’m proud to be part of such an amazing tradition!”
