Fall Concert:
Our first concert of the year is almost here! Tomorrow, on November 6th, our CMS band will rock the Mabry Arts Center.
Please click below to view out concert program!
We will have two concerts on Monday night. 6th Grade and Symphonic Band will have their concert at 6 PM while Concert Band and Wind Ensemble will have theirs at 7:30. This allows for traffic to hopefully be as calm as possible with the amount of students in our middle school band program.

Veterans Day Assembly Performance (Wind Ensemble Only):
Our Wind Ensemble band has the honor and privilege to play in the school-wide Veterans Day assembly each year. This occurs during the school day and all students will be excused from missing their classes. Students will be fed for free and need to wear their all-black concert attire.
Our high school marching band is traveling to New York City this week so we have asked retired band director, Derek Able to step in on that day! The Wind Ensemble will sound magnificent under his conducting.
