What does it mean to be in “Band?”
Band is a fun program that includes experiences in Concert Band, Marching Band, and small ensemble performance. Additional opportunities are available for students interested in jazz band, color guard, and indoor drumline.
The question isn’t “WHY?”...
-The chance to gain hundreds of new friends and make memories that will last a lifetime.
-The opportunity to develop skills in musicianship, leadership, team building, time management, determination, and communication.
- A Concert Band consistently rated at the highest level in Ohio
-An award winning Jazz Band that has won gold medals at jazz festivals in New York and Georgia
-A State Champion and Regional Medalist Winter Guard and Indoor Percussion Ensemble
- A Marching Band that has earned awards including Grand Champion awards at the state level, a gold medal at a Regional Championship, and a silver medal at the National Championship.
...It’s “WHY NOT?!?”
You’ve Got Questions?...We’ve got answers!!
Can I be in band if I play sports?
YES! The CCHS band staff will work with you and your coaches to make sure that you are able to
participate in the band program and your sport. These arrangements will look a bit different for each
student, so make sure you contact Mr. Hubbell or Mr. Blume for details on how this situation
can be tailored to fit your specific needs. Every year there are many students at CCHS who participate
fully in sports and band. Football is the only sport that creates the greatest challenge for participation in the CCHS Band.
Is the Marching Band portion of the curriculum optional?
Band at Central Crossing is a full year course that includes performance opportunities in marching and
concert ensembles. The marching band portion of the curriculum concludes in November, with the
remainder of the year spent indoors with the concert band. It is not possible to break the class into
separate units, taking only marching band or only concert band. We are sure, as are the hundreds of
students currently enrolled, that you will find marching band to be a very rewarding and worthwhile
activity in which to participate. Marching band presents students with leadership opportunities and training, travel
to exciting performance locations, building friendships within all classes in after school settings, gym credit,
and what most students would say, an experience of a lifetime (to name a few)!
Is gym credit available for participating in band?
YES! Any student participating in marching band/color guard will automatically receive credit for gym;
that means you don’t have to go to gym class during school! What a great deal, huh!?!
Does marching band take up all of my summer vacation?
The band does practice during the summer to prepare for the 4th of July Parade and the fall marching
season; however, there will still be plenty of time for relaxing, family vacations, and jobs during the
summer.
Do you have to audition for band?
All students actively participating in middle school band will be eligible to participate in the high school
band program. Auditions for the first unit of band, Marching Band, will only be used to determine the best position for your participation. For Concert Season, auditions will occur prior to the start of the concert band
season, but all students have a place in the CCHS band family!
Is there a jazz band at Central Crossing? When does it meet?
Jazz band is a curricular class that meets during the school day at Central Crossing. Auditions may be
necessary to determine which of the jazz ensembles you participate in, but any band student wishing to
join jazz band may do so. You will need to sign up for jazz band on your schedule if you wish to join.
Can I be in Jazz Band and not enroll in the "Band" class?
Students participating in the jazz band are also members of the band program at CCHS. You may be able
to play a different instrument in the jazz band, but will be expected to participate in band on your primary
instrument. Jazz band is an extension of the regular band course, not a replacement.
How much does band cost?
There are fees associated with participation in the band program at CCHS, and there will be a parent
meeting in the spring detailing those costs. However, there are numerous opportunities for you to earn
money; many students pay NOTHING because of their participation in money-making opportunities.
Money should not be a factor in this decision as there will always be ways of financing your participation.
Do the ensembles at CCHS travel?
YES!! In recent years, students in the CCHS Marching Band, Concert Bands, Winter Guard, and Indoor Percussion Ensemble have made trips to Missouri, Michigan, Indiana, New York, Georgia, Tennessee, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Florida. Traveling is one of the most enjoyable parts of participating in the music program at CCHS!
