NEWS & EVENT INFORMATION

District Band Performs a Pre-Fest Concert

2/25/2016

 
Picture
Great job to our Central Middle School District Band on an outstanding performance at the Pre-Festival Concert this Wednesday, February 24.  The students played three songs that they have been preparing for District Festival, Skygazer Fanfare, When the Wind Whispers, and Serengeti Dreams.  They also demonstrated the sight-reading process for the audience and performed a piece of music for the first time "at sight".  

The Mustangs would like to give a huge thanks to four local band directors who came out to give feedback on the performance: Craig Millet from St. Amant High, Richard Bresowar from Dutchtown Middle, and Patti Roussel and Nicole Mlynczak from East Ascension High.  Their comments are going to help the band continue to grow and prepare for a performance at the LMEA District IV Festival at Zachary High School on March 11 at 1:25.  We invite all of our CMS Band families to come and see this performance.  

Parents, please see "Upcoming Performances" for more information about the festival performance.
