It's strange to think that in less than 3 weeks, the school year will be over. What a year it has been! Our spring concerts are next week, and we will take some time to share all of this year's celebrations, play some fun music, and hand out a few awards. Read below, find the ensemble that is important to you and your student, and take a look at their progress, as well as final events. Please note: all concerts are located at CMS.
