HELP! Panthers Stadium Events - Earn charms points while raising funds for the Band!
Working the Panthers Stand raises a lot of money for the Band. Please consider signing up if you are able.
Link to sign-up: https://crhs.band/supporting-the-band/panthers-stadium-concession-stand/. You will receive 25 Charms points for every game worked for your student, and a 25 Charms points bonus after every 4th game. Charms points never expire! Use them for next year’s fees as well.
Band Fees and charms info
Charms is a website that the band uses to post fees and keep track of Charms Points. Charms Points may be earned through various fundraisers (Panthers, Sam’s Cards, etc.) that can be used to pay for band fees. Rising 9th and 10th grade students will also see an Accessory Fee for show shoes and section specific items (gloves, mallets, etc.)
To access Charms for the first time:
Go to the Charms website (https://www.charmsoffice.com/).
Click Login in the upper right corner.
Choose the Parent/Students/Members tab
The School Code is crhsband
Click "Enter Charms"
The "Initial Student Area Password" is the first three letters of the first name and the first three letters of the last name. Example: John Smith's Student Area Password would be JohSmi. The capital letters are required.
The system will prompt you to change the password.
If you have logged in previously and know your password, go to the crhs.band website and click on the Charms logo on the righthand side to take you to the login screen
If at any time you get locked out of the system or forget your new password, please send Nicky an email so that it can be reset. Nicky’s email is charms@crhs.band.
