Week at a glance:

Pre LGPE 3/2/2026 7th and 8th Grade only


On Tuesday, March 3rd our 7th and 8th graders will have their Pre Large Group Performance Evaluation concert at the Mabry Arts Center on Carrollton High School. This is a required concert for our Concert Band, Symphonic Band, and Wind Ensemble. The schedule has been posted below:

  • 5:15 PM Report time for all students
  • 6:00 PM Concert Band performance (students are dismissed after their performance)
  • 6:30 PM Symphonic Band performance (students are dismissed after their performance)
  • 7:00 PM Wind Ensemble performance (students are dismissed after their performance)

We hope that you will consider viewing the performances of the other ensembles as well as the high school ensembles that will perform after us!

Large Group Performance Evaluation is our version of the Georgia Milestones. Bands must perform three pieces from a pre-approved list of repertoire and have adjudicators who provide feedback and ratings based on a criteria that the Georgia Music Educators Association has formed. This is an important part of our year and we look forward to getting a run through next Tuesday in front of some colleagues of our who will give us important feedback leading into LGPE in Mid March.

CMS Jazz Band

Congratulations to our Jazz Band on a stellar performance at both Black History Month Assemblies on Friday. They represented our program well and played music from some of the greatest Jazz artists of all time! We are excited for even more performances for the rest of the semester. If anyone has any pictures to share we would appreciate it!

West Georgia Winds Concert: 7 PM!

Some of our students will perform a concert at the Mabry Arts Center on Monday as members of the West Georgia Winds Middle School Ensemble! We hope that you will consider coming out to support some of our own students and students from around our area as they perform an incredible concert!

Have a wonderful rest of your night!
