District IV Honor Band Auditions (7th & 8th Gr.)

10/6/2018

 
​The District IV Honor Bands are an opportunity for selected students to spend three days in January performing with outstanding musicians from throughout the Greater Baton Rouge area.  Earning membership in these prestigious groups is a great addition to any young musician’s resume.  CMS has been very proud of the number of students who are selected from our school each year and we take the audition process very seriously.  The Mustangs who have been selected have had an unforgettable experience performing new and challenging music, meeting other musicians, and learning from an accomplished band director.  This year the conductor of the top honor band is a composer, Mr. Eric Morales!
