Welcome, new CMS Band families!
We are so glad you visited our page and we are even more excited to have you join the CMS BAND family! No matter what your background is, we have a place for your child in the Coyle Band program. Although students entering the 6th grade generally make up our Beginning band, we also welcome incoming 7th & 8th grade beginning band students! Once we decide on the instrument that fits your child the best, we will communicate the schedule need with our wonderful counselors. We believe that the instrument chooses the child--not the other way around! The best way to select a child's primary band instrument is to have them go through the process of trying out their top 4 choices.
Please feel free to email your directors at any time with questions: Heather McHenry
UPDATE (August 2, 2020):
If your child is enrolled in Beginning Band and HAS selected an instrument with directors, please order your instrument & supplies in order to have them in August.
If you have NOT attended a virtual meeting to select an instrument, we will help your child do this during the first week of school.
Any child who would like to join band may still do so! Email Mrs. McHenry with your child's first/last name, student ID number, and top 3 instrument choices (see video below to learn about choices). Available instrument classes include Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, French Horn, Trombone, Euphonium, and Tuba (Percussion is closed at this time).
