UPDATED! ==Winter Concert – Thursday, Dec 8th @7pm at CMS/CHS==
The 2016 Winter Concert is Thursday, December 8, at 7:pm in the CMS/CHS cafetorium. All band classes are participating, and is a required part of their grade. All band class students will stay after school, and I will feed them supper. Performance dress is black-and-white, and should not include t-shirts, shirts with writing, or jeans. This is looking like it’s going to be a bigger evening than we originally thought, so be sure to mark your calendars and come join us!
==Christmas Parades!==
12/4/2016 – Farmville Christmas Parade
12/11/2016 – Cumberland Christmas Parade
Schedules will be available soon. Both events are in the afternoon.
NEW! ==School Board Performance==
The band program has been asked to perform at the school board meeting on December 12 @ 7:pm. The 7th/8th grade band will perform a selection or two at the beginning of the meeting. The students will stay after school and I will feed them supper. They should be able to leave by around 7:15pm.
NEW! ==CES 4th grade musical performances==
This performance is completely voluntary. Like last year, I need a small group of performers to play a few carols at the evening performance of the 4th grade musical at CES on Thursday, Dec 15th. I am also working to see if we can play at the in-school performances on Friday, Dec 16th, as well. Details to follow.
Keep in touch, y’all!
