Cumberland Bands Newsletter – 12/17/19

Happy Holidays, everyone!

It continues to be such a blessing to work with all your wonderful children. Every day, week, and month I can see the progress we’re making here. Your children put such good effort into becoming stronger musicians every day and it’s a joy to be a part of it. Many blessings to you all for the holiday season and the new year.

Just a couple of quick scheduling notes.

==DEC 19, 2019==

The HS concert band will be playing a quick recruiting performance at CCES just before the 4th grade musical. We’ll stay after school and we’ll be back to the CHS band room by 6:45pm. I’ll have some snacks for everyone after school to tide them over.

==JAN 11, 2020==

Students who have signed up for All-District Band auditions, we will be leaving the CHS band room around 6:30am on Saturday, Jan 11. More details to come after the new year.
