TBLA

Our Trojan Band Leadership Academy students attended a Rome Emperor’s game this past Thursday! Our students had the opportunity to play the National Anthem to kick off the game and even participated in competitions between innings. They have lead all year and we are so proud of them for representing our school system and band program in playing the National Anthem at a Minor League Game!

Thank you to our volunteers for keeping the students safe during the trip!

Urban Air

Each year our 7th Graders end their year with a trip to Urban Air in Newnan, Georgia! The students had hours to play, eat, and enjoy each others company. Thank you to our incredible chaperones for keeping the students safe on the trip and congratulations to our 7th graders for their commitment to another year in band!

West Georgia Arts Summer Camp

The West Georgia Arts Collective is excited to announce a summer camp hosted right here at CMS!

With music at the center, students will enjoy a 5-day event while learning a set of music pieces with a public concert to be presented. Each day will include rehearsals and activities that include: a Six Flags Over Georgia trip, water park visit, service project, ice cream social, presentations, physical-education activities, and more!

This is open to any 6th-8th grade students and I would love to have a huge CMS showing of students! Sign up today!
