District Honor Band
Congratulations to our CMS band members who participated in the District VII Honor Band! Students practiced beginning back in August for an audition in December for a spot in these ensembles. They spent Thursday through Saturday morning in Ringgold making music, bowling, and much more! Thank you for being leaders in our band program and representing our community so well!
Congratulations to Drew Williams!
It should not go without notice that Drew’s piece was premiered this Friday with the Carrol Symphony Orchestra! It has been an adventure getting to this point and we are so excited for you! Congratulations!
Drew is pictured below with conductor Terry Lowry as well as Mr. Trumble and Mr. Nelson who performed in the orchestra.
Raffle Party on Thursday: Volunteers needed
After we finish counting and collecting money tomorrow, we will have the roster updated on the following spreadsheet. I will then inform the students if they have sold enough to earn admittance into the raffle party. For those of you who are close to selling 10, you can continue selling until tomorrow!
Raffle Party:
- Students will report to the band room when bus riders are called
- Please wear comfortable clothing to play in
- Volunteers will check into front office and report to band room around 3:15 to help set up
- Please email maria.menendez@carrolltoncityschools.net if you are able to volunteer
- The party concludes at 5 PM. Students will report to the bus loop to wait on their rides
Online Store: Open year round!
I am excited to present our online store for CMS Band merchandise that will be open year round. I will post the link each Sunday as a reminder and will let you know if any new items are added. This does not serve as a fundraiser for our band program but it does allow for us to purchase spirit wear to represent our program!
