To the Editor:
The CHS Concert Band had a chance to go to state competition April 30. As parents of one of those students, we would like to say how very proud we are of our daughter and the entire band.

What a great opportunity it was for the kids to get to go to state. Now they are talking positive about “how they are going to go again next year,” not “if we go again next year.”

We also want to express our sincerity on how great it was to see all those parents, grandparents and siblings of those band kids on the Square when the fire truck led the buses around the Square. The kids were surprised and it was great to see everyone there clapping and cheering on those kids!

Thank you to Mr. Dave Dickerhoof (band director) and Mrs. Heather Shive (assistant band director). Without your guidance, they would not have gotten this far.
