Temple University
Marching Band Day

The 2019 Temple University High School Marching Band Day will be on Saturday, November 30. Band Day gives high school band members to opportunity to spend the day with the Diamond Band, perform at Lincoln Financial Field, and see what it's like to be part of a college band. Regardless of where a student may be considering attending college, this is an outstanding way to experience collegiate marching band which is completely different (and a TON OF FUN) than high school marching band.  Information is available at Temple Marching Band Day.
Banquet Planners Needed
If haven't fulfilled your volunteer commitment for the year, perhaps you can help with our banquet! The date has not been set yet, but usually takes place in January.  Please contact Randy Deihl to find out what is needed.
Yankee Candle Orders Are In!
If you placed an order via the paper order forms, you can pick up your candles in the band room.  Online orders will be shipped directly.

Have you started your holiday shopping?  Gift cards are a wonderful way to support the CB East Marching Patriots because they essentially don’t cost you a thing!  Go online to order gift cards to stores you normally shop in (or would like to try!), and then use those cards like cash when you shop.  In return, the Student and Band Accounts are credited with a percentage from every card sold, at no cost to you or the band.  The cards also make wonderful gifts - many of them can be purchased in denominations as low as $5 - $10.  Information on the program in on the band website.  The next gift card deadline is November 12th.  Cards will be available for pick up by November 15th.
Wawa Coupons make great gifts, while earning $ for your student account!  A book of 10 coupons is $40.  Checks should be made out to CB East Band Parents Assoc. and your child can pick up a pack from Audrey Cronin in color guard.  100% of fundraising proceeds go to your student account!  Email Wendy Cronin with questions.
Thank you to all the parents for providing the scrumptious potluck feast for the students and staff before yesterday's competition!
