Welcome to the band blog!

Welcome to the CMS band blog!  We'll be using this page to post cool links, pictures, videos, questions about band, and general thoughts about music and our class.  Soon, some of you will help write posts for the blog this year too, which means that YOU might be a PUBLISHED author before the year is up! 

To test out this page, please leave a comment that tells your FIRST name (no last names, please!), your instrument, and why you like playing in the band.  Choose "anonymous" to leave your comment, so that you don't have to sign in.

All comments are emailed to Mrs. Gibbs for approval before they will show up, so if you don't see yours right away, don't worry.  Band students do receive grade credit for thoughtful comments!  Use your best writing skills.
