Jazz Band primarily meets once a week after school. We perform styles such as jazz, pop, swing, and other contemporary styles. Cougar Jazz consists of Trombones, Saxophones, Trumpets, and the Rhythm Section.
The Marching Cougars band is our most visible and frequently performing group. We perform at Friday night football games, numerous Saturday competitions throughout the fall, and regional parades. The competitive marching season runs from July through November, and membership is open to all wind, percussion, and color guard students.
The CHS Color Guard performs alongside the marching band at competitions and Friday night football games. They are the visual ensemble of the marching band, performing with flags, rifles, and sabres.
At the conclusion of marching season, the color guard competes as the CHS Winter Guard. The winter guard performs at competitions separate from the band after the conclusion of marching band season. No prior experience is required — clinics are held each spring for incoming members.
Winter Percussion is a combination of drums and front ensemble equipment. The percussion competes separately from the band after the marching band season.
