The CCCHS Tiger Band traveled to Chapman yesterday and performed twice at the BandTober Fest.

After the first performance, Dr. Anja Pogorelova, our clinician, spent 30 minutes helping the band improve. They discussed musical and physical skills where they can improve. As always, our Tiger Band was very "teachable," took the information well, and executed much of what Dr. Pogorelova suggested.

They then performed at their festival time for four judges: Dr. Pogorelova from Washburn, Sharyn Worcester from KSU, Elizabeth Janssen from Scott City, and Cally Bitterlin from Butler Community College in El Dorado. 

The Tiger Band earned a Superior rating, the highest accolade they can receive at the event. They also recieved an additional award for "Auxiliaries" , which is our featured Twirlers Keely Knepper and Mea Affolter, as well as our Tiger Band Color Guard.

We are very proud of all of the members of the CCCHS Tiger Band. Thank you to Mrs. Rourke and Mr. Eyermann for their unwavering support of the band. #Celebrate379
