It's truly magical that out music staff not only gives the gift of music to thousands of students every day but also comes together to honor two of our own, Gina Ford & Jean Lindquist, and to provide a night of music for you this Tuesday at 7 pm at Chanhassen High School @ISD112

Congrats to our 7th grade band on a great performance at the South View Band Festival yesterday.

Benefit Concert April 30 at 7 pm, Chanhassen High School. Great music. 20 district music teachers DOING what we TEACH students. Honors Gina Ford & Jean Lindquist who lost their lives to cancer. 4. Proceeds to scholarships for high school seniors continuing with music in college.

These are all student-run bands that meet during our school day. They choose their own music, rehearse on their own and perform. So many standards met, life lessons learned and joy come out of these groups.

It’s snowing now, but in three months you can have your child performing with the Safety Green Marching Machine. Sign up for the Eastern Carver County Middle School Marching Band and have a great time making music for our community this summer! district112.ce.eleyo.com/course/8609/su… @ce4all
