Welcome to the Clearwater High School 2019 – 2020 Band school year! I look forward to another amazing band season laced with great music and inspirational student contribution.
The CHS Tornado Marching Band will present the field show, “Night Watch”. This show is based on the emotional music of Tom Wallace. As in past years, our goals are to entertain, grow as a band program and continue to be one of the top marching bands in the state. We will perform at home varsity football games as well as local and state band competitions. The CHS Concert Band will host a wind ensemble that will continue the tradition of school concerts and Music Performance Assessment (MPA) in March of 2020. The CHS Jazz Band will continue to entertain and perform for both school and community events. The CHS Pit Orchestra will perform for the award winning: “Broadway Stars of the Future” musical theater production: “Mamma Mia”. This will be a great musical school year. I hope all students reading this will consider membership in all of the listed ensembles. Have an amazing band season and a “Great Tornado Day”.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Sopko
CHS Director of Bands and Orchestra
