On Tuesday, March 18, 2008, the OMEA District XI Band Festival was held at Crescent Valley this year.The Friends of CHS Band and the CHS band students were the event management team. What a wonderful job they did all day! The other directors were very impressed with the organization of the event. The festival began sharply at 8:30 am with City of Corvallis Mayor Charlie Tomlinson proclaiming March as Music in our Schools month. There were eleven groups this year in the band festival.
The CHS Wind Ensemble, for the first time in decades, received ‘state qualifying scores’ of 78, 79 and 74. The members of the band were very excited! (And so is the director.) The band will submit their scores and recording to the OSAA for consideration to state which will be held at OSU on May 8th. This is a very exciting achievement for member of the CHS Wind Ensemble. They have worked very hard this year to achieve this level of performance.
Congratulations to them as they prepare for the Mid Valley League Festival hosted by CHS at CHS on Thursday, April 10th.
