The 8th grade Symphonic Band is the top band at CMS! Typically, the Symphonic Band is made up of players who have been learning their instruments for the past 3-5 years. The students in this band are expected to perform at the highest level possible, and are rewarded with the opportunity to play fun, challenging, and rewarding band literature. The Symphonic Band will perform several concerts throughout the year, in addition to concerts at CCHS,and a band festival in the Spring. Many of these accomplished 8th graders will continue on to perform in the high school bands next year!
