Colleyville Heritage Band
Week of 7/10 - 7/17
Happy Summer CHHS Band!
Summer Band Schedule
As of now, all CHHS Band Camps listed on the calendar are “on.”
Unfortunately, not much information in terms of times and locations can be listed, yet. We are waiting on further guidance from CHHS, GCISD, Region 31, TMEA, UIL, etc. to finalize our plans and procedures. Our hope is that we will have a much larger update by the middle of next week.
We realize that last minute changes may occur, especially regarding percussion, diamonds, and leadership camps. At this point, plan on operating week to week as we implement intentional plans to provide a safe learning environment while rehearsing and being together.
Virtual Rehearsal Opportunity
TCC-North East is planning on hosting an online indoor winds mini-clinic and informational meeting Sunday, July 19th at 2pm-4pm. The clinic is free and will discuss instrument fundamentals, the basics of marching and movement, and is geared towards auditioning for Dust Storm, a new “indoor winds” ensemble offered by TCC. It is a great way to do a little marching band!
Once you register, we will send you a link for the online camp.
Hope to see you there!

REMINDER: Physical Forms
We know there have been a lot of questions about physicals for the upcoming school year, and we finally have answers!
For this year only, any students who have an existing physical on record from last year, and do not have any changes in their health, are waived from getting a new physical for the 2020-2021 school year. Students who did not receive a physical last year, or students who have any flags on their questionnaire this year, are required to get a physical before beginning participation.
1) ALL students must complete the first-page Pre-Participation evaluation (PDF Attached Below)
2) If your student has no concerns and they have an existing physical from the 19-20 school year, they are cleared to participate.
3) If your student has any health concerns, they must proceed to acquire a physical (second page of PDF filled out by a physician).
4) If your student has no existing physical from last year (including all incoming freshmen), they must proceed to get a physical (second page of PDF filled out by a physician).
Please email all completed forms to Mrs. Eby at caitlin.hall@gcisd.net
