From the Director...
This Friday morning, the high school members of the wind and percussion sections will perform at Cold Spring Elementary. Students should report to East by 7:00 AM and change into uniform. We will travel by bus, and we should only miss first block and the first 10-15 minutes of second block. The faculty at East will be notified.
Report time for Friday evening's football game at Souderton will be 4:30pm. There will be no rehearsal after school. Wawa hoagie orders will be taken on Wednesday before practice for delivery Friday afternoon to anyone who is staying after school. Information on departure and performance time at the game will be sent out later this week.
Saturday's competition will begin at 5:00 PM with a performance by Fugget Middle School. CB East will perform at 5:45 as the first band in the Yankee class. The class will also include Marple Newtown (6:00), and Upper Darby (6:15). There are 12 total bands performing during the competition, including an exhibition performance by the West Chester University Marching Rams at 8:15. See below for the complete schedule for the day.

We will be doing a Wawa hoagie delivery after school on Friday before the away football game. Wendy Cronin will be taking hoagie orders on Wednesday, September 25th before practice. All coupons must be submitted on Wednesday. Parents, please ask your child if they have their Wawa coupon with them ahead of time so they don’t forget! Wendy will be selling coupons on Wednesday if your child is in need of them. You can always put your $40 check in the band box (payable to CB East Band Parents Association) and they will be returned to you via the band box the next week.
