THE MIGHTY MARCHING KNIGHTS AT CONNEXION SPRING FESTIVAL Members of the CHS Marching Band represented the high school on Saturday, May 6th, at the Roswell Connexion Spring Festival by kicking off the event with spirited music! And they also managed to have some fun and possibly recruit some future musicians! Go Knights! LIVELY JAZZ, GUITAR & SAXOPHONE QUARTET CONCERT! Hats off to all jazz band, guitar and saxophone quartet students for such incredible performances at the concert this past Thursday! Your talent made for a very lively evening!

Many thanks to Tim Thomas for making this (and most other) video and posting it to the website. A THRILLING SPRING CONCERT … TO SAY THE LEAST! The Spring Concert was a treat, thrill, adventure and one of a kind show! The students and Mr. Reid gave it their all! Thanks to the senior student conductors who led a fantastic Concert Band performance. The Symphonic Band set the stage for the rest of the show with their Hollywood tribute and Stevie Wonder medley. When the Chamber Winds took the stage, that’s when things started to get a little crazy. Their performance Star Wars Heroes complete with a lightsaber battle between Darth Vader and Han Solo led into a Wind Ensemble performance that had the band and audience screaming as Elvis and his groupies saved Las Vegas from Godzilla’s wrath! Congratulations to our 41 graduating Seniors! Your talent, leadership and commitment will be missed. If you would like to view the show again, click here to see the video under the About Us tab. Many thanks to Tim Thomas for making this video and posting it to the website. DON'T FORGET TO SIGN UP FOR AMAZONSMILE! FOR DETAILS, PLEASE SEE THE FUNDRAISER PAGE.
