The Dallas Brass - May 2013

The auditorium and the stage were filled to capacity for our last concert of the season - the Dallas Brass.  The group played music from the classics to Broadway to pop to a wildly enthusiastic audience.  Over 200 members of the CMS bands performed two pieces with the world renown group - an experience they will surely regard as a high light of their middle school music program!
