New Year, New School, New Stuff...
Summer is almost over and while I will miss sleeping in and spending quality time with Big Dumb Dave and Cleo Petunia, I am VERY excited about the new school year!!
Have you seen the new school?? It's beautiful! I was over on Monday and got to take a look at the band room. We have a whiteboard with staff lines, a SMART board, a SINK to clean out mouthpieces, and something I've wanted for the last 16 years....A FLAT FLOOR!!
In addition to the excitement of the new building and room, I'm also excited about our performances this year. As I was packing up, I started planning music for this year. Now, if I can just find the box that I packed that music in... 8th graders will be performing at the elementary schools for our annual recruiting trip as well as at Hershey Park. 7th and 8th grade band will participate in District Band Performance Assessment and EVERYONE will of course take part in the winter and spring concerts.
Enjoy the rest of your time off. Be sure to look for your instruments and dust them off :-) Remember, you do not need to bring instruments on the first day of school!
See you soon!!!

Calvert County Christmas Parade
All CMS band students are invited to participate in the Calvert County Christmas Parade on Sunday, December 6th. CHS has invited us to march with them in the parade once again. If you've never been to the parade, it's a fun time! See Ms. Cunningham for a permission slip and music. Invite your orchestra or chorus friends to join the color guard (flags) as well!
Speaking of CHS bands...stop by CHS on Saturday, November 21st for a craft sale sponsored by the CHS bands. Ms. Griwatz and Ms. C-ham will be selling some of their crafts along with other vendors and crafters.
