- Details: Congratulations to our Varisty Football team for making it to Sectionals! The sectional game is THIS FRIDAY at 6:00 HOME against Elmira. Since it is a post-season game we will not play our half-time show - but since Elmira is bringing thier band, we don't want our home team to not have musical support. We would like to invite ANY band student to come play with us in the stands this Friday. We won't wear uniforms, just Hawk Gear (black or gold), and we will play with flip folders in the stands. If you are interested in playing at the game this Friday please click here. Often sectional games cost $ to attend, getting in with the band is FREE and we will take a break for you to see your friends and grab something to eat. Come have fun with us - and don't let the away team have a bigger band than the home team!! We will meet at 5:00 in the theater to run the National Anthem and Back in Black and hand out flip folders and then move to the stands. Band is fun, go Corning!!

Pep Band
Registration for the Corning Hawks Basketball Pep Band is now open through Nov. 6 at www.tinyurl.com/cpppep23 - Open to all instrumentalists who play a part in marching band-style arrangements (sorry, no double reeds!). The ensemble is co-directed by Mr. Mike Simons and Mr. Donny Allen.
- The band rehearses in November and plays at home varsity basketball games from December to February. It also performs once at Elmira College Hockey (January) and for Hawks Unified Basketball in May.
- The band plays classic rock and pop tunes and is UNIQUE in Section IV athletics — no one else has one like we have!
- If you're a first-year member of the marching bands and/or new to CPPHS, we want you!! We're looking for a roster of 50 members, and ALL are welcome! We DO expect you to make a strong commitment to the ensemble — but we'll work with your schedule (Winter Guard, Indoor Drumline, and CPP Hawks athletics).
- Contact Mike Simons (msimons@cppasd.com) if you have questions.
