Drum line wins competition !

The CMHS Drum Line won Class C at the Westminster Tournament on April 6th - dominating the competition.  The judges "bumped" the group up and now they will compete in Class B for the remainder of the season.  This is a bigger and tougher division, but I am sure the group is up to the challenge with its show depicting the sights & sounds of the Big Apple, NYC. Special thanks to head drum instructor Sean Cunningham, instructor Nick Quan and Alex Lee for all the help they have given the group this year.  Good Luck !
