Division Champs! CIF Football, Winter Programs, and Wind Ensemble
CSBC Division 4A Champions!
Yesterday, the Regiment of Gold competed at the Division 4A Championships.
At the Division Championship yesterday, we won 1st place in our division, won caption awards for best music, best visual, and best general effect!
As our season winds down, I wanted to thank everyone who helped contribute to the group’s success this year. We have a staff of world class experts who pour everything they can into the program each and every day. Thank you to all the parents who drive students to and from rehearsal every day, pay for lessons and supplies, and cheer louder than any parent section I have ever seen. And thank you students for buying in, and giving your all every day.
Booster Meeting MONDAY
To accommodate our fundraiser at Lucille’s on Tuesday, our booster meeting will be tomorrow, Monday the 13th right after practice in the band room. These meetings are open to all parents. Feel free to stop by!

If you would still like your name in the trailer, please submit a donation by this Friday, November 17. There is still some work to be done to the interior of the trailer, so any support is appreciated. Any donation over $25 will be eligible for a name in the trailer. You can make a donation by writing a check and dropping in the black box in the band room, or on our website.
Winter Guard and Winter Drumline

Wind Ensemble Schedule
As we begin to transition out of marching season and into our concert season, our schedule will be changing. Students have already been notified of the change. When we come back from Thanksgiving break, we will rehearse every day during our regular 7th period class, 3:25-4:20. We have secured additional rehearsal spaces for the days that winter percussion has rehearsal, so everyone will have their own space. Students who are in winter percussion will rehearse with that group on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the wind ensemble other days of the week. If you are one of the visual ensemble members, you will rehearse with the wind ensemble every day until 4:20, and transition to drumline on Mondays and Wednesdays for the rest of those rehearsals.
Fundraiser at Lucille’s
Get your dinner at Lucille’s on Tuesday, November 14 and they will donate 20% of your bill to our program!
We now accept online donations!
With our new website, we are able to accept program donations online! We accept all major credit cards, and PayPal. If you still need to make your program donation, or would like to contribute to the trailer fund, visit our website, click the Store tab, select the fund you would like to donate to, change the quantity to the amount you would like to donate, and enter your payment details! We hope that this makes the process of supporting our program just a little bit smoother.
Online Store
