Good evening and happy Labor Day!
We are gearing up for another exciting week for our students here at CMS.
West Georgia Winds
West Georgia Winds, now under the umbrella of West Georgia Arts Collective, is a group meant for advanced musicians wishing to meet students from across the state and play challenging music. They meet on Sundays at our CMS band room and rehearses with a highly qualified conductor. This is a group that many of our students would benefit from. If you feel like your student is highly motivated and would like to audition for this prestigious ensemble, please visit http://www.westgaarts.com.
The calendar and pricing is available there as well.
District Honor Band
Another prestigious ensemble is called District Honor Band. This group has a much more difficult audition but is one that our students at Carrollton are very equipped take. The students will audition in December and will audition against the most talented students in our district. If selected, the students will travel with Ms. Menendez to Ringgold, Georgia to rehearse with a guest conductor and other talented students. It is an incredible opportunity!
