The Winter Concert is right around the corner. Students should be practicing and cleaning up the details on their parts. It is going to be a great concert, and we can’t wait to perform for a live audience! Please be sure you come prepared to the concert. You will need to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID test to be allowed entrance to the concert.

Just in time for the Holidays, the Annual Pie Sale Fundraiser is on! Locally made with all-natural ingredients, these pies are brought to you by Willamette Valley Pie Company. They come frozen — pop them in the oven and an hour later, a warm pie that is delicious and involves no dirty dishes!

This is an opportunity for individual students to raise funds to offset the cost of future trips, such as Disney 2023. FOCB will track each student’s earnings and credit that amount to the student’s account.

Order forms and payment are due Monday, November 29th, and pies will be available for pick-up on Monday, December 13th at the Warmflash-Choi residence. Please click here for the order form and pick-up information, or in case your student did not bring home an order form. For questions, please e-mail linhvu@chsbandspdx.com.
