Our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will have a chair test in class on Wednesday. The students will have one minute to play as many scales as they can followed by a performance of the etude that was handed out to them in class. I look forward to hearing the students on Wednesday and getting them set up for our Spring concert!
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!
