Festivals and Fundraising...

Dear Parents,

April is off to an excellent start, and I owe it all to your hard working students. We are looking to raise a combined total of $10,000 dollars through the Magic Show on April 19 and Chili Bingo Night on April 21.  I also have some news and pictures about the All-State Festival and the Beginning Band Festival from earlier this week.

Magic Show Update
So far, we have sold 66 tickets. We have a total of 700 to sell, for a potential profit of $7000 from ticket sales for this event alone! Continue to sell to everyone you know. This show is a bargain, and we keep every penny!  The show is on April 19 at 7 PM in the Carson City Community Center.
You may also order tickets here.

Chili Bingo Update
Chili Bingo Night is April 21 at 6 PM in the cafeteria. We are still looking for donations in the form of gift cards, hotel stays, or physical items. If you something to donate, let me know ASAP since we are in need of bingo prizes.  We are also holding a chili cook-off. Click here to enter your chili. The cost to enter is free, and prizes are available!

NZNMEA Beginning Band Festival

Congratulations to the Beginning Band and Concert Band on their performance on Tuesday! They took home "Superior" ratings and performed the best concert so far in their young musical lives! As you can see, they were the top performing band, right alongside Silverland Middle School. The future of the band program at CMS in excellent hands with all your talented students!

















All-State Band Festival



The All-State Festival took place from Thursday-Saturday, culminating in a concert for the ages! These students and their guest conductor performed high school-level music in front of thousands of proud parents. What a weekend. A special congratulations goes out to the CMS students who were part of this band: Bahar, Chloe, Madisen, Kyra, Ethan, Kaitlyn, Slade, and Emma.








Look for more news/updates about the fundraising events after the weekend. Happy Easter, everyone!
