** Music Events: **

Winter/Spring Concert: These two events are the final graded performances for all band students at CHSS. Attendance is required.

District Band: District Band is made up of about 100 of the top musicians in the eastern part of North Carolina. To gain a spot in this prestigious group, students must take an audition that is made up of scales, a solo and sight-reading. This is one of the highest honors a young musician can earn. Top chairs in each district band get the opportunity to audition for the North Carolina All-State Band. Auditions for both MS and HS take place in January. I highly encourage all students to take the audition!

Albemarle

Band Clinic: The Albemarle Band Clinic consists of two honor bands, middle and high, composed of band students from the following school systems: Camden, Currituck, Dare, Edenton-Chowan, Elizabeth City-Pasquotank, and Perquimans. Students are chosen by their director based on attitude and musicianship. Selection for next years band will take place in January and the clinic is in March.

Dare All-County Band: 2008 saw the first All-County Band Concert where the three high school’s in Dare County came together for a joint concert. We are planning to make this an annual spring event with a concert rotation at each school! We are also planning a joint middle school and jazz concert this year. More info coming!
 * Graduation Band:** This group will be made up of current students enrolled in HS Band. Select middle school students may be invited to join the band for this great honor.

Hatteras Holiday Parade: Annual Parade in Hatteras, we are going to try to march it next year!
