This kind letter was sent to me and I would like to share it with all from 10/11/19
I would like to share what a positive impression your band left during their attendance at the football game in Blacksburg on Friday night. Your band played enthusiastically during the entire game and sounded great, even from the parking lot!
I was very impressed to see how professionally the band and color guard came across the field to attentively watch the performance of the BHS band's halftime show. They were respectful and truly interested in the performers on the field, including cheering for the soloists.
It's refreshing to see a program nurturing respectful young adults. Thank you for all the work you are doing as a music program. You should be very proud.

I am pleased with the enthusiasm and spirit of the band and the way the members bring so much life to events. It makes a huge impact on morale when the band strikes up and the true function of this spirit group brings a dose of “Knight Pride” to all that are in earshot of our group. I would like to thank the parents, friends, and students of the program for their tireless efforts in making the Marching band a superior representation of this fine Cave Spring community. More people will see the marching band in one season than all the concerts we perform. That is why we want good representation. Please contact me or any student or parent of our program if there are questions or concerns. Marching Band is an extra-curricular activity. It meets after school on Tuesday thru Thursday for practices and Friday football games. We travel to away games and compete in local and state marching competitions. We represent our community in parades and have been featured in the Roanoke Veteran’s Day parade and have consecutively marched for the past 12 years. Our season begins at the end of July and finishes with the Christmas parade in early December. Students that are enrolled in Concert or Symphonic Band WITH Marching band will receive 1 ½ credits for their participation The CSHS Marching Band comprises musicians, color guard, two drum majors and a feature twirler. The size of the Band is approximately 80 CSHS and CSMS students. The 2019 marching season started in late July with Band Camp. Band Camp is held at the high school in the during July. On the final evening of Band Camp, the band will host a preview of its halftime show just before the annual band camp dinner. In the weeks subsequent to Band Camp, the Band will begin weekly afternoon practices to prepare for the football season. The Marching Knights will perform at five home football games this year. The Marching Knights will travel to no more than four away games to support the Cave Spring Knights football team from the stands. If the football team does make the playoffs, as in years past, the Marching Knights will be right there with them. In October, the Marching Knights are scheduled to perform their halftime show for competitions. There are competitions on the calendar with the possibility of one more being added. In November the marching band will march in the Veterans Day Parade in downtown Roanoke to honor our service men and women of the US Armed Forces. The Marching Knights will complete its season with the annual Stadium Review performed at the Cave Spring High School auditorium. They will also perform this for the Middle School students. The final performance of the Marching Knights will at a local Christmas Parade. |
