Back to School!!

Can you believe that we've been in school for 18 days?!  Time flies when you're having fun!

I am very excited about this year!  We currently have 140 students involved in the CMS band program.  That's the most we've seen in a looooooooooooong time.  With that comes a lot of great things (we can play music that requires more instrumentalists) and some things that are not so great (lack of shelving in the storage rooms).  To help with the lack of storage, it is extremely important that you have a name tag on the OUTSIDE of your instrument's case.  In one class, I have 5 saxes that all have the same kind of case.  You don't want to use someone else's reed, do you?  BLECH!

There are some audition opportunities coming up in the next months.  If you are a 7th or 8th grader interested in auditioning for All-State, please see me ASAP!

Tri-County honor band audition music just arrived yesterday.  I will be handing it out to ALL intermediate and advanced students.  I want you to see that it is within your reach! 

That's all for now.  Keep making beautiful music!
