Band Fees and Charms Info
Charms is a website that the band uses to post fees and keep track of Charms Points. Charms Points may be earned through various fundraisers (Panthers, Sam’s Cards, etc.) that can be used to pay for band fees. Rising 9th and 10th grade students will also see an Accessory Fee for show shoes and section specific items (gloves, mallets, etc.)
To access Charms for the first time:
Go to the Charms website (https://www.charmsoffice.com/).
Click Login in the upper right corner.
Choose the Parent/Students/Members tab
The School Code is crhsband
Click "Enter Charms"
The "Initial Student Area Password" is the first three letters of the first name and the first three letters of the last name. Example: John Smith's Student Area Password would be JohSmi. The capital letters are required.
The system will prompt you to change the password.
If you have logged in previously and know your password, go to the crhs.band website and click on the Charms logo on the righthand side to take you to the login screen

Stay Connected!
We are introducing the “Band App” to increase communications to parents and students. There is an app you can use on your phone and a website you can use from a computer.
At this time it is intended for current students and parents/guardians only. We will still be using emails and the facebook group.
We would like all parents/guardians and current students to join as it contains practice and competition schedules (among many other things).
Please sign up using your first and last name at the link below. Join our 'Catawba Ridge High School Band' group on BAND - The app for groups and communities!
