District Honor Band
Congratulations to our CMS and CHS Students who participated in District Honor Band this weekend. These students practiced in the Fall for a difficult audition in early December and earned a spot this year! This is the largest group that Carrollton City Schools has brought and we are extremely proud of them for representing us in Ringgold, Georgia. Dr. Carr, Ms. Morrissey, Ms. Hanlin, and Yvonne Haley ensured that all students attended rehearsal on time, took the students bowling, to Krispy Kreme, and supported them the entire way. Thank you for your care this weekend and thank you to Carrollton City Schools for providing the charter bus for us to ride in comfort!
Band Store
Our store is open year round if you would like to purchase hoodies or shirts! Thank you to Ozier Apparel for making this happen!

Private Lessons
If your student is looking to improve on their instrument, whether that is to start as a beginner to advance to become competitive, private lessons are a game changer for band students. I have compiled a list of some incredible educators and I would love to see our students studying with these musicians!
