Our 7th and 8th grade groups have been working very hard for their concerts this week. We all wish them luck as they perform at the Carroll County Performing Arts Center next week Individual itineraries are below. Please remember to wear your all black uniform for the concert.
The following schedules are tentative. Our transportation department is working diligently to get buses for our groups. If either of the three groups has a change in their schedule, I will inform the students and families of that group.
We are excited to welcome our high school band leadership team to join us!
Wednesday: Jazz Band after school until 4:15
Thursday: Chair test for 7th and 8th grade only

Large Group Performance Evaluation (7th and 8th grade only)
Our 7th and 8th graders did a wonderful job on Thursday at our Pre LGPE concert. Thank you to all of the students and staff of both the CMS and the CHS band program as well as TBLA for assisting with concert set up. LGPE is right around the corner! These concerts are FREE and open to the public. We hope that you will come out and support these wonderful musicians in the CMS and CHS band program.
UWG Field Trip
Our students had a wonderful time on Friday visiting the University of West Georgia. The Wind Ensemble rehearsed with Dr. Byrd, toured the campus with wonderful tour guides, and even ate at one of the dining halls for lunch. Great job to our WE and we are excited to hear their performance at Georgia State in a few weeks.
