To register, visit https://clhscadets.revtrak.net/

Registration opens July 22, 2024 for the 2024-25 school year. 

The students are placed into three different bands, beginner, intermediate and advanced, based on their grade and experience level. The students combine their talents and rehearse together at Concordia Lutheran High School to prepare for and perform three concerts in November, March and May. Intermediate and advanced students perform in an Arts Festival in the spring that also takes place in the Concordia Lutheran High School Gym.
