The mission of the middle schools in Grapevine-Colleyville ISD, a launching pad that intentionally encourages personalized opportunities that allow developing students to embrace their unique identities with the support of our community, is to promote and guide dynamic collaboration among peers, foster confidence to explore new possibilities, and challenge students to be intrinsically motivated learners.
CMS Honors Band Places Second in State
The Colleyville Middle School honors band recently competed at the state level of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA) Honor Band competition, and placed second among all middle school bands in Texas.
This comes after the group placed first at the region and area levels in order to be one of 16 bands to qualify for the state competition. CMS advanced to the state level for the first time in 25 years.
This accomplishment caps an incredible year for the CMS Honors Band which also included a trip to Chicago in December to perform at the Midwest Clinic International Band, Orchestra and Music Conference. CMS was one of just three middle school bands in the nation selected to perform for thousands of musicians and educators from around the world.
