Band & Chorus

There are several opportunities to perform in CMS ensembles. We offer a Chorus and Concert Band from 6th through 8th grade. Chorus and Band meet as a Unified Arts class during the school day as a 6th grade group, and a 7/8th combined group. Each ensemble meets every other day, and students are able to join both the band and chorus. Students are welcome to begin at any grade level, with no prior experience required. In fact, students are encouraged to jump in and participate - There is always room!
