2015 Champe's Run for the Music 5k

Register for 2015 Champe's Run for the Music 5k

Join the John Champe HS Band Boosters and Church of Our Redeemer for the first annual Champe's Run for the Music 5k and Fun Run!

John Champe High School Band Boosters and the Church of Our Redeemer are conducting a 5K and fun run in the Stone Ridge community area. The event will include a 5K course, a 1-mile fun run.  We are looking to promote community businesses that support the students and families of the school, and include your logo on our t-shirts and information in our packets. All the fun will begin at 8:00 am on Saturday, May 30, 2015. Start and finish line will be at John Champe HS (41535 Sacred Mountain Street, Aldie, VA 20151). Come out and run to support the John Champe Knight's band program, now in their 3rd year. In 2014, they received the designation of being a Virginia Honor Band, awarded to bands that achieve superior marks for both their marching band and wind symphony bands. In 2014 they placed first in the United States Scholastic Band Association for the Virginia competition finals, winning the school's first state championship. They are under the direction of Jonathan Phillip, a James Madison University graduate. The assistant band director is Jamison Carr.

Our organization’s mission is to raise funds to support the band boosters and its program as it continues to grow at unprecedented rates. Funds will also be used to assist the Church of Our Redeemer, to help facilitate its services and community outreach and participation. This is a chance to give back to the community and give community members an opportunity to exercise, enjoy fresh air, friendly competition, and camaraderie. Events like our fundraiser raise funds for our band to participate in competitions, trips to showcase in parades, extra training at college, equipment uniforms and other enrichment opportunities. Supporting us helps us show our students the community cares about their efforts to enrich their lives through music.
