Posted 12.26.07 – CMS Concert Success Story! I think we have turned the corner at CMS with regards to the band program….it has taken an immense amount of our time this fall but it was well worth the investment. Over 80 CMS parent teacher conference contacts was definitely a record! We had 128 6th grade students (Mrs. Flynn conducting) present their first Concert on Monday. December 3 in front of an audience of close to 600! We also had the 64 member7th & 55 member 8th grade bands perform on the following Tuesday with an audience of 500…. and both bands were absolutely outstanding! We have a renewed excitement and buzz in the program that we haven’t seen in a long, long, long time. This is just the beginning!
