Centerburg Music Department

  Music Department Announcements: #1  Buckeye Candy Fundraising forms were distributed to all music students about a week ago and all students " should " have brought one home for their families!  This is our one "MAJOR" fundraiser for the year.  So many students participate and at least sell "a" box to their Mom and Dad, some sell hundreds of boxes and unfortunately some don't participate at all.  Please ask your child about the Buckeye Candy order form , purchase some for your own family and pass the word around.  These things literally sell themselves if someone knows you are selling them! #2  Congratulations to the Trojan Pride Marching Band for an absolutely " Knockout " season.  It was a pleasure working with all of you this year, and am already looking forward to next season.  It's gonna be a blast!!   The marching band banquet will most likely take place just after the Thanksgiving recess.  We'll keep you posted ! #3...
