Last week, our students were featured in the Carrollton Martin Luther King, Jr. parade on Monday and did an exceptional job. The Winter Guard continued working towards their show, and our band classes continued the pursuit of their LGPE music. Unfortunately, due to the threat of inclement weather, the SAPA show scheduled at Cass was cancelled. Out of an abundance of caution and the continued threat of inclement weather, tomorrow (Monday, January 26, 2026) will be an At Home Learning day.

At Home Learning Information

CCS Families: 

Tomorrow, Monday, Jan. 26, will be an at-home learning day out of an abundance of caution due to freezing temperatures and the potential for icy roads. Our district At-Home Learning Guide is linked below, and teachers will provide further instructions regarding at-home work. We will continue to keep you posted on any updates to our schedule. Please stay safe, and we plan to see students back on campus on Tuesday, Jan. 27. https://bit.ly/CCS-AHLguide

Ms. Breaux’s Recital

Ms. Breaux continues to finish her Master’s in Wind Band conducting at Georgia State University. Tuesday, February 3, 2026 is a major milestone in her journey. The concert is free and open to the public if you’d like to attend to show your support! Ms. Breaux, we are so proud of you!

Soda Donations Requested

As we prepare for our annual Band BBQ, we are asking our band families and community supporters to consider donating sodas to help make this event as impactful as possible for our students. We use 12-ounce cans of Coca-Cola, Diet Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Dr. Pepper.

These beverages frequently go on sale throughout the year. By working together and purchasing during promotional pricing, we can stretch our dollars further and reduce event expenses. Every cost we lower means more proceeds go directly to supporting our students through instrument purchases, travel opportunities, scholarships, and program needs. The event is on April 30, 2026, so there is no immediate need, but we wanted to get the word out early so we can begin keeping an eye out for sales.

Thank you for always finding ways to support the Trojan Band. Your generosity continues to make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.

Berry College Invitational

On March 4, 2026, our Wind Ensemble and Symphonic Band will travel to Berry College to participate in the inaugural Berry College Wind Studies Invitational. The students will perform their LGPE selections for a world-class panel of educators, be coached by one of the clinicians, and receive feedback from the panel. Students will also watch Heritage HS perform their LGPE selections and attend masterclasses. It is an honor to have been invited, and we look forward to representing our school and community with excellence!
