It’s absolutely worth it.

As we begin recruiting for new band beginners next year, it’s worth noting why music is so important. Aside from being a creative outlet, it really does wonders for the brain.

It's time to do our 2nd annual mattress sale fundraiser! Please share this out with your friends and family on social media. More information will come:

The Culver MS & HS Band Program is hosting its 2nd Annual Mattress Fundraiser on Saturday, May 9th, from 10am-5pm. This may sound weird, but it is the best way to buy a new mattress because the prices can’t be beat, the brands are the same as retail stores, and every purchase benefits the Band Program. Please help to spread the word!

A couple of weeks ago, (I forgot to post this sooner) the 5th grade band got a chance to attend a Discovery concert - for free - with the South Bend Symphony Orchestra. We had a great day! We took lunch with us and ate at the little park next to the Morris and then enjoyed the concert which included a wide variety of music from Brazilian composers to Beethoven. Thanks to CES counselor Thomas Kinnaird for chaperoning and helping to organize with me!
