MUSIC
Congratulations to CMS 7th grade percussionist Adina Klawiter on being accepted into the Minnesota Band Directors Association (MBDA) 6-8th grade state honor band! Over 260 students from across the state auditioned for the group, and only 89 were selected to participate. Adina is the first-ever 7th grader from Central to be selected for this group.
Many of our CMS band students had an opportunity to perform in the Northeast regional Minnesota Band Directors Association (NEMBDA) honor band at Duluth East High School in Duluth. The music was very challenging, especially with only two weeks to practice and about 6 hours of rehearsal!
