An Unforgettable Day of Music & Inspiration! 🎶
Yesterday, our CHS band students had the incredible opportunity to learn from members of the United States Air Force Band of the West! Students broke into instrument-specific masterclasses where they worked closely with professional musicians—diving into collaborative playing, expert demonstrations, and meaningful Q&A sessions. 🎺🥁🎷
