Alabama Bandmasters Association Music Performance Assessment is Here!!!

Parents and Students,
Even with all of this winter weather MPA week is here. This friday the Childersburg Concert Band will travel to Gadsden High School to perform at the Alabama Bandmasters Association's Music Performance Assessment, a state wide music competition featuring a judge panel of esteemed judges from across the nation.
Above is a copy of our itinerary and here is a link: MPA 2015. Students will need to come to school in uniform. Besides their music, instrument, and uniform all students will require is some money (about $10-15) for lunch at Gadsden mall. The band has been working very hard to prepare for this concert and I cannot wait for their performance. I know they will represent the Childersburg community well.
Here are several other announcements for the upcoming weeks:

  • All chocolate money is due no later than March 2nd. Any money turned in after the deadline will not be applied to a students account. 
  • The Talladega County Honor Band is coming up. The dates for the honor band are March 13 and 14. Auditions are on March 10th at Talladega High School.
  • Along with the honor band, this year the TCBDA is hosting a masterclass at Lincoln High School for all county students. The masterclass is March 16th and the cost is $10 per student. Payment is due by March 2nd. 
  • Our final fundraiser for the year is quickly approaching. The Band boosters plan to sell dinner plates at this years Coosafest on April 11th. Be on the lookout for more information to come soon. 
Have a great week and stay warm!
