Country Day Shines at CMEA

Music Educators Association Annual Conference

Middle School Band Showcase Ensemble

Each spring the Connecticut Music Educators Association (CMEA) holds its annual Conference at the Hartford Civic Center. After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, this year the event was back in person, and our very own GCDS Middle School Band was selected to perform as a showcase ensemble! Mr. Jesse Tennyson worked incredibly hard with our young instrumentalists to prepare them for this event, with repertoire that challenged them and impressed all the music educators in the audience. Congratulations to all our band members on this well-deserved honor!
