Mar. 12 Update

Hi, hey, hello!


Please continue supporting music in our schools month by attending the following events if your schedule allows:

1. CMHS presents The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee on Friday, Saturday, or Sunday of this week at 7pm, 7pm and 2pm respectively! Tickets are $6 for students and $8 for adults, and the show is absolutely phenomenal! 

2. Our jazz band's Sweets 'N' Swing concert is on Saturday, March 24th. Admission is free, but we will be selling desserts and drinks all night! Doors open at 6:30pm, and music will begin at 7pm. The last set will be around 9pm. 

The donation page can be found HERE and I sent it home with all band students last week​. Please return this form by Wednesday, Mar. 14th so I can see what we will still need. This is a really fun night and Second Generation Swing, a big band based out of St. Louis, donates their time and musical talents for this event as well! 



Other Events and Deadlines

1. Student leader applications are due this Friday, as well as Student Leader Recommendations, at 3pm. The application can be found here and the recommendation form can be found here.

There will be a sign up sheet posted on my office doors for both band and choir kids to sign up! ​
