The CMS Bands competed in the Music in the Parks Festival this past Saturday, and absolutely dominated! 🎶🏆

They brought home 2 First Place Trophies, the Grand Champion Trophy, and the Esprit de Corps Award for excellence both on and off the stage. Not only were they the highest scoring middle school band, they outscored all groups in attendance, including high school concert bands and jazz ensembles!

I’m incredibly proud of the hard work and dedication these students have shown all year. Despite some unusual rehearsal situations, they persevered and rose to the top.
