This past weekend, our school system was represented by three students at the GMEA All-State Band in Athens, GA. Reese Roenigk (CMS), Xander Adams (CHS), and Demarcus Burch (CHS) were selected for this extraordinary experience after a highly competitive audition process. The students spent Thursday through Saturday in Athens, attended rehearsals, and performed breathtaking concerts at the Classic Center on Saturday. Congratulations Reese, Xander, and Demarcus!

Additionally, Hunter Moore traveled to Auburn University to participate in their honor band! He was selected via a competitive application and audition process. He spent the weekend preparing a concert and had the opportunity to hear performances by the Auburn University Band program. Congratulations Hunter!
