This was our last concert for seniors and it was emotional. This is the group that began as freshmen when CB opened. The “OG Bears”. They taught me so much along the way. They embraced the program philosophy and dug in. They have set the standard and culture of our program and they leave a lasting legacy that will impact our school for years to come. Even through a worldwide pandemic these kids persevered and led the way. All these graduation party invitations, thank you notes, and special gifts… gonna miss you Class of 22! Always remember even when life kicks you and makes you cry uncle, you are loved and will always be loved! I am so proud of you all. Congratulations!
FROM THE DIRECTORS:
Thank you all for your attendance this past week at the Marching Band Registration Meeting. We are thrilled to announce that the 5th edition of the Marching Bears will be the largest group we've had to take the field! Check out our show announcement below.
There are still a few students/parents who need to complete the registration forms.
Please complete the REGISTRATION FORMS (HERE).

Finally, we have begun our campaign to recruit 5th graders to join band for next year. Below is a graphic that links to a registration form. If you know a fifth grader who would like to know more information, please forward this information to them.
CBBA GENERAL ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Parents: We still need your help! As we have mentioned in the past, getting involved is a great way to show your kids that you take an interest in their education and sends a positive message that you consider what they are doing a worthwhile cause. Research has shown that parent involvement in a child's education is the most critical predictor of a child's success. Children who see their parents volunteer at school have fewer incidents of social and behavioral problems. Most importantly, your child learns from your example of giving service to others!
If you haven't already, join our Cherokee Bluff Band Parents Association - CBBA Facebook Group - this is a wonderful place to get answers, share photos, and talk with other band parents. Just search Cherokee Bluff Band Parents Association - CBBA (see image below.

It's true that band is a wonderful experience for the students. It's also true that there's a lot of work required to support it! That's why we need you as a volunteer. And, yes, you really will have fun when you volunteer and get to know other parents and band students. Check out our SIGNUPGENIUS link to see how you can help us!

Middle School Announcements:
Beginning Band (Periods 1,3,4):
- No more instruments : Students will not need instruments for the remainder of the school year. All school owned instruments should have been returned to Mr. Lonberger by now. If you still have one at home, please return that ASAP so we can get them sent off for summer repairs and cleaning.
- Enrolling for band next school year: There is nothing that rising 7th and 8th Graders need to do to enroll for band again next year. Students will automatically be added to the band rosters unless parents have communicated otherwise to Mr. Lonberger.
- Playing this summer: Summer is certainly a time to take a break from school but students should regularly (at least a few times a week when not on vacation) pick up the instrument and play so they don’t take a major step backwards in their playing over the summer. School owned instrument players can buzz/play on the mouthpiece since they will not have their instruments while they are away for cleaning/repair.
Advanced Band (Periods 2,5,6):
- No more instruments : Students will not need instruments for the remainder of the school year. All school owned instruments should have been returned to Mr. Lonberger by now. If you still have one at home, please return that ASAP so we can get them sent off for summer repairs and cleaning.
