Both groups received I's on sight reading. 8th grade received a rating of "Excellent," and the 7th grade received a "Superior" - the top rating!! February and March are very busy months for 7th and 8th grade. The bands have been rehearsing for next week's CONCERT ASSESSMENT. Meanwhile, the 6th grade has been hard at work too... They are playing polyphonic music and have 2 scales under their belts. Here's a chance to listen in! This week, we want to share with you a special tune jazzed up by the ladies from our 7th grade percussion section. Enjoy! Thanks to Professor Wallace Easter from VT for bringing two of his horn students to perform for our 6th grade brass class! We enjoyed the music and getting to talk about what it's like to be a music major. Our visitors were especially kind to let Mrs Hill join in on one of their pieces... Five 7th grade students represented CMS at Virginia Tech Honor Band. All 5 students auditioned into the TOP middle school band, where they rehearsed for long hours to get a great concert ready in just two days. Between rehearsals, they had some time to relax and explore Virginia Tech's campus. Congratulations to the CMS Bands on a Wonderful Winter Concert! Enjoy the photos below, provided by Mrs Spencer.
