It is official football time in the CMS band world! We are excited have been invited to play and cheer on our CMS Trojan Football team this Saturday in Grisham Stadium!
Trojan Band Game 9/14
This is an optional group and is open to all CMS band students.
We will play cheers in the stand as a spirit band for the 8th grade football team in Grisham Stadium at the high school.
Uniform will be a t shirt that is provided with the fee. Students are encouraged to wear shorts, tennis shoes, hats, and sunglasses due to the heat.
The only cost to participate will be $5 for students who are in need of a shirt. (Either a new Trojan Band member, or need a new size.) If your student already has their shirt, they do not owe any money
Students will be allowed to purchase concessions at the game, so they may want to bring some money.
Parent volunteers are needed for each game. Contact maria.menendez@carrolltoncityschools.net to volunteer.
Students will report to the Carrollton High School Band room at 6 PM. Pick up time will be 8:30 PM at the CHS Band room. Students will need to bring their instruments to and from the game.
*We anticipate at least one more game, but do not yet have that date and time.
Please fill out the following form to register your student for Trojan Band!

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!
