We hope that you will join us for our annual musical production of High School Musical next week at 
The CHS Wind Symphony is the national winner in the 2017 Mark of Excellence / National Wind Band Honors Project. The “Mark of Excellence” music competition is entered with recordings that honor music programs and their ensembles for high standards in performance.
The CFB Elementary Honor Choir has been selected to perform for the 2018 Texas Music Educators Association convention in February of 2018. The group is composed of 85 4th and 5th graders from all of our elementary schools. The choir will be performing a 20 minute concert in front of hundreds of Texas music educators. The choir is co-directed by Sarah Bayles, director of choirs at Blalack MS and Allison Murray, director of choirs at Polk MS. This invitation is the result of many years of hard work on the part of the directors, the students and the music teachers at each of our elementary schools.
Student musicians from all six middle schools in CFB have been learning new music at the 2017 Orchestra Camp. The musicians have been learning new music over the summer and participating in some group games. They are working on advancing their technique and preparing for school to start again. They will be performing their new selections on Aug. 4, at 2-2:30 p.m. in the Polk Middle School cafeteria. The public is invited to attend and there is no cost for admission.
The Creekview High School Wind Symphony has been selected to be a Featured Band at the Annual Concert Band Festival in Indiana. The annual event will be held in March, 2018. The Wind Symphony will perform at the Clowes Memorial Hall on the campus of Butler University in Indianapolis.
