Congratulations to all the Charger Band members who participated in our annual Rock-A-Thon.  We brought in over $24,000 dollars, which is the highest we have ever raised at rock-a-thon.  With the envelopes and online donations that are still coming in, we will push the threshold of $25,000!  We also had over 70% of all the band members participate, which is the most we have ever had participate.  The directors are very proud of all of the students who stepped up to the challenge and set a new fundraising record for Clear Springs High School – awesome job Chargers!!!

After Party:

9:00AM-11:00AM
Bay Area Raceway

The after party is only for those students who participated in the Rock-A-Thon.  Tickets are free for the Percussion/Oboe/Bassoon and top 5 earners.  Tickets are $15 for everyone else who participated in rock-a-thon.  Tickets include unlimited go cart rides, free play on video games, and free play on pool table/air hockey, etc.  If you want to play the games that give out tokens, you will need to bring extra $ for that.  We will have a few drinks and snacks there, however, if you want to bring your own drinks, food or snacks, that is OK as Bay Area Raceway allows us to bring food.  You may want to wear your Charger Band sunglasses…the track can kick up dust and worn off tire tread and those are the perfect glasses to keep out the crud as you race around the track!
