CWEA Premiere Shows Admission - As the Indoor Ensembles enter their performance season, CWEA has sent an email to performing schools regarding admission. Any person attending - chaperones, bus drivers, etc - who does not have a wristband, will have to pay to get in. We usually have enough wristbands because we have two groups performing, but be prepared to pay just in case.

All tickets are general admission and will be on sale one hour before the contest starts at a cost of $8.00 per person...cash only

Mr. White's Gift - At the end of Tuesday's Winter Concert, the senior band members gathered around Mr. White on stage and gave him a large wrapped box.  When he opened the package, it was an Apple iPad2 and $100 Visa gift card.  The gift was purchased with the generous donations from band families and staff during the first part of December.  Special thanks to Mrs. Cline (Assistant Prinicipal) for collecting the donations and helping to keep it a secret from Mr. White!
