Dear Parents and/or Guardians, The Cochrane High School Performing Arts and Technical Theatre program aim to afford students a variety of opportunities to experience music and theatre. It is these experiences that encourage our students to achieve a high standard of excellence and gain excitement and passion for theatre as a process and an art form. In order to maintain this standard of excellence, the Performing Arts community here at Cochrane High School is committed to using fundraising to afford the students the opportunity to participate in learning activities. This semester we will be taking advantage of a fundraising opportunity presented by Big Chief Meat Snacks. Here’s how it works,
Funds will be transferred into a student’s account that can be used for future events and activities... including trips to New York City or Cantando in Edmonton! We thank you for your support and belief in the Cochrane High School Performing Arts Program. We look forward to working with you in the future, and we invite you to attend The Mob by Calgary’s own Clem Martini. *Band, Choir, Theatre Students Only* All Cheques for the Big Chief Beef Jerky fundraiser need to be made out to the "Cochrane High School Band Parents Association" (CHSBPA).
