Another great week at CMS! I was very pleased with the number of students who were prepared this week. Keep up the good work! If you were one of the few that forgot your instrument, please get it in next week. We will start working on our winter concert music and also begin working in our books. Speaking of books...some of the books are in. The rest will be in next week. Those who ordered from me will be able to pick them in class.
Have a fantastic three day weekend. Don't forget that Tuesday is a B day!

We have a WINNER!
Congratulations, Katie! You answered the trivia question correctly - Mr. Switzer was Ms. C-ham's middle school band director. (The picture on the front page shows a 1980 Ms. C-ham and her teacher and the rest of the Lewistown Middle School Band at their winter concert.)
It was a GREAT week! I'm so excited about this year's bands!! Get those instruments out and remind yourself how to play them. "A Day" students need instruments on Wednesday and "B Day"students need instruments on Thursday. Have a fantastic weekend!

Trivia Question
Let's see who is really reading the blog...
Who was Ms. Cunningham's band director in 1980?
Find the answer somewhere in the blog. Write the answer on a small piece of paper with your name and place it in the basket in the band room tomorrow or Friday. On Friday during 8th period, I will pull a name from the basket. The winner will get a $10 gift card to the store of their choice! Read the band blog!!!

Back to School 2012-2013
Where did the summer go?? Hope you had a fantastic summer break! I did! I had the opportunity to travel to Italy, Greece, London, and Carolina Beach, NC! The other fantastic thing this summer..........THE PURPLE P-BONE ARRIVED!!!
I am currently getting all of your practice records, warm ups and other paperwork ready for the first days of school. I'm also looking at music for the year. Any requests?
If you haven't already, get your instrument out, get supplies and play some tunes. Hot Licks is no longer open in Prince Frederick, so if you need reeds or valve oil or a book - you'll have to travel to Waldorf or to the northern end of Calvert County. I am going to do a large order of books so start saving your pennies! The cost will be $7.95 for 6th and 7th grade woodwinds and brass, $6.95 for 8th grade woodwinds and brass and $10.95 for all drummers. (Percussion books have more pages.) Lots more to come in the next few weeks. Can't wait to see all of you! Enjoy your last days of summer.
