Remember that this is the last selling fundraiser for the year and we have a tour coming up in April. We need as many volunteers as possible.
CMU Instrument Day –
The CMU School puts on an annual instrument day where students get to experience working with college music professors. We take 2 students from each instrument group (i.e. saxophones, percussion, etc.) every year (CMU limits the amount of students we can take). We will be traveling via parent transportation to CMU on Nov. 22nd. We will leave the HS on the 22nd at 6:30am and arrive back at the HS around 5pm. Students can pack a lunch or bring money for food. The cost for the workshop is $20. Priority is given to those students who are upperclassmen.
