EA Band Members Return to CMS

9/25/2015

Our second home game of the football season was our Mustang Band Alumni game.  With great excitement, our 7th and 8th graders welcomed back former Mustang Band members to play side by side with them.  It was a wonderful opportunity for the high school students to share with the middle schoolers some of their experiences and knowledge gained from playing in the East Ascension Spartan Band!  Thanks so much for taking the time to come out and play!

Next week, the 8th graders will have another opportunity to play with the EA Band members at 8th Grade Night on October 2nd.
We would like to all extend and great big "THANK YOU" to the CMS Band Booster Club for providing pizza and water during the game!

The CMS Mustang Band played its first home game and pep rally of the year on Thursday, September 17.  Highlights included a rocking rendition of "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple and CMS favorites like Mustang Mambo and GO!  

The booster club would like to give a huge "THANKS" to all the parents who came to help out with providing water for the students.  It was a hot game, so they definitely appreciated it!

We are now seeking donations from anyone willing to help with providing sandwiches and chips at the next game on September 24 during half time.  Please message analuisa.barber@apsb.org to help!
