High School Band Meeting Tuesday 4/29

This Thursday at the CHS Band room, all students participating in band next year will have a mandatory meeting with Dr. Carr and Mr. Nelson. This will include woodwinds, brass, percussion, and colorguard members.

Please ensure that a parent/guardian is in attendance at this meeting on Tuesday, not just the student.

This week is going to be amazing and I cannot for you all to hear the students on Monday!

Sincerely,

Ms. Maria Menendez
