Mayfair Monsoon Classic Recap

Great show RoG! Last nights show was another huge step in the right direction, and was a great representation of where we are right now. Keep pushing to be the best we can be! It has been amazing to see you all grow, and take up the challenge to be proud of your work, but never satisfied. Last night at the Mayfair Monsoon Classic, we took first place in our division, and won high percussion, high auxiliary, and high music caption awards!

Also, none of this happens without support for all of our amazing parents. Thank you for driving your kids to and from rehearsal, supporting them as they navigate academics during this busy season, volunteering to feed them, move equipment, etc., and cheering them on each week!

From Admin: Transportation Fee

Monday, October 16, 2023 is the last day to pay before the fee will be added to the students obligations. The fee can be paid at the ASB window during snack or lunch by cash or check made out to Cerritos High School. The fee may be paid at the ASB office.

If you do not pay your transportations fees, you will not be able to go to the Winter Formal or Prom dances.

Holiday Fundraisers!

Happy Holidays!
On 10/20, we begin our next fundraiser: Holiday Wreaths and See’s Candy!
These fundraisers are not required; they are set up to help pay for outstanding donations as well as prepare for the Winter Guard and Drumline. I encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity because it is the biggest fundraiser left in the school year!

Due Date for Fundraisers
Payments and order forms must be submitted by Friday, November 2nd (no exceptions). That gives you three weeks to reach out to family and friends to presale the wreaths and candy!
Additional copies of the order forms will be distributed next week after practice.

Profit
Wreaths: 35%–40%, depending on overall sales
See’s Candy: 20%–30%, depending on overall sales

Distribution Date
This will depend on when the company ships the order. We're shooting for 1-2 weeks after Thanksgiving.
Students will be required to pick up their products in the band room and then distribute them to their purchasers. We will notify parents of pick-up dates for both the Wreaths and See’s.

Trunk or Treat

Please join us for our annual Trunk or Treat on October 30th after practice. This is an ROG tradition, and we look forward to having as many trunks as possible. Please sign up ahead of time so we can prepare for the event. Please drop off any candy donations the day of the trunk or treat.
