Hi, hey, hello!
Before we get the final large update of the 2020-2021 school year started, I would like to thank Gannon Meyer, Jenna Bloodworth, Carter Bloodworth, and Brian Pearson for decorating our instrument closet with pictures and trophies of the CM band's past and present. Gannon brought this idea to me about a month ago and put it together quickly! If you have the opportunity to go into the instrument closet at CM, enjoy the walk down memory lane! It's so awesome to see the history of this program on our walls. Congratulations to Josh McCune who performed with the McKendree Honor Jazz Band last week! Topics starred (*) also apply to current 8th grade students/families. Unstarred events apply to current high school students only. CM Band Spring Concert Our spring concert is scheduled for THIS TUESDAY, outside the back of CM, starting at 7pm. Bring a lawn chair and socially distance as much as you can. Student call time is 6:30pm, but for those needing/wanting extra credit or to help out, setup will start at 5:30pm. Wear concert black! If the weather is not on our side, this concert will be rescheduled to Tuesday, May 11 at the same date and time. If the weather is an issue this night, we will move the concert into the main gym. Regardless of location, we will have a live spring concert! Florida Trip* Even if you cannot pay the deposit, please sign your students up for the Florida trip if they are planning on attending.
