The Caldwell High School Marching Band brought home yet another trophy from The District 3 competition, nearly 3 000 high school students from around the Treasure Valley participate in the season, finale for local school, marching bands and in the 4A division. The Cougars won second place overall now the preparation for a competition like this takes a lot of time and effort in addition to practicing in class every day. The band also meets two days a week after school, along with performing at halftime during football games.

They worked really hard. They did everything that I asked of them to do. Marching band is an interesting thing. Everything they have to do. We have to do multiple movements, they can't just stand and play so either they're, marching or they're doing dance type moves when they're playing, and so we did a lot of that more than we've ever done before, and they just keep getting better and better. Every year this year was exciting. All the band directors were giving us compliments on how well we sounded how amazing the show was. It was really exciting.

It was good to hear.

The Cougars theme for this year was the Nile, the River of Life, with musical pieces being centered around an Egyptian setting. The 40 student marching band has been improving every year and out of the 25 schools competing in the entire competition Caldwell placed 12th. Overall, congratulations on an outstanding season. We can't wait to see what you accomplished in the years to come.

And here we go.

The 17-member choir is made up of students in grades 10 through 12., with this being an upper level. Choir students must try out and be selected to join now for senior Sarah rot being a part of this prestigious choir is more than just singing I.

Always enjoyed music and I'll always enjoy music, but being able to create these special friendships and relationships with everyone. I wouldn't have been able to do that anywhere else.

The award-winning choir program is something sophomore Cody Yee takes very seriously being selected to the magicals at just a sophomore is quite the accomplishment. Cody says this achievement has given him more confidence in other aspects of his life, not.

D

Even for quiet, but like all my other classes, it really has just helped me like I can just go for it like I know, even though, if I fail, I have like the confidence, I can just go forward and I will learn no matter what me being accepted in was just kind of being like: okay, hey I just got into something that I never thought would be in until maybe like my junior year or senior and now I'm like well. If I can do that, I'm sure I can do many. Many other things.

A

Now we also had six singers selected to be a part of Allstate over 1900 musicians, auditioned for less than 500 spots between choir band and Orchestra and Caldwell High School is honored to have had a six singers chosen. Now. If you would like to see the magicals perform live, you still have two more chances to do so this year they will be performing at the Canyon County honors choir later this month, and their holiday festival will be taking place here at Caldwell.
