LGPE Concert
Our 7th and 8th graders did a tremendous job on Tuesday at our Pre LGPE Concert! We have listened to the judges tapes and have already started the process of improving as we work towards LGPE.
I will post a schedule for Concert, Symphonic, and Wind Ensemble once the bus schedule has been approved. I hope to release that later this week. Please continue keeping the dates on your calendar so that we can fill the Carroll County Performing Arts Center up and cheer on our 7th through 12th grade band students!

6th Grade LakePoint Station Field Trip
Thursday’s performance and visit to LakePoint Station was a blast! The students and parent chaperones were rockstars! That was a memorable field trip and CMS Band was represented well! Thank you to everyone who was involved in making it happen. Performing and traveling is one of the most exciting parts about band.
