Music Department will host both of the OMEA (Ohio Music Educator's Association) Large Group Performances on Friday, March 4th (Choirs) and Saturday, March 5th (Bands).  The CHS Choir and Band will perform in the festival so we are asking for parents and students alike to please mark their calendars well ahead of time.  In a performance of this caliber  we cannot afford to have any of our members absent.
