Hi, hey, hello!
Better late than never on this update! :) Congratulations to the following students for performing at solo and ensemble! The rating for this event is individually (or small group based) and is a rating for your performance and your performance alone - it is not a competition! The receive a 1 means a superior performance, a II is excellent, a III is good, a IV is fair and a V is poor. I'm proud to say that our band students only received I's and II's! Congratulations! Alex Cole Emily Fitzgerald Stella Smith Jenna Bloodworth Mark Eldridge Alexis Noel Aiden Vandeford Jared Thomas Matthew Moore Carter Bloodworth Addie Liljedahl Dakota Nolte Bethalto Community Night The Bethalto Community Night is an evening where the Bethalto community is invited to CM for a night of educational fun! In the hope of bringing music into our schools and community, I have been asked to see if the band would be interested in showcasing our hard work this evening. I thought, "why not?" We already have a concert prepared! The idea is that we would perform the small ensembles again this evening, in two rounds. Plan on being at CM this evening: Thursday, March 12 from 4:30pm-7:30pm. 2020-2021 Student Leader Interviews The interview schedule can be found HERE.
