CHS Marching Band offers local families a cultural experience!

In September 2009, the CHS Marching Band performed in the Shanghai Tourism Festival Opening major parade in China which on a similar scale to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade in New York.  CHS students were treated as honored guests, experienced Chinese culture, and fostered American goodwill.

Now, it’s our turn to return the favor by hosting the Chinese students in the USA.  The students from China are selected from the best students attending the most prestigious schools in Shanghai. They speak English well, and will be grateful and well-mannered guests.

If you can act as a host family this summer and help the CHS Instrumental Music Department, please download and return the completed form.  If you are unable to host a student, please talk to your friends and neighbors, your church and work communities, your extended family, anyone who you think may be a good host for this program. Please click here for more information or contact the CHS Instrumental Music Teacher, Chuck Orifici, at charles_a_orifici@mcpsmd.org.
