🎶 Big News for our Claxton Musicians! 🎶
We are so proud of our students who recently represented the Claxton Band program at the GMEA District Honor Band at the Georgia Southern Performing Arts Center! 🎺🎷
From Thursday, Feb. 5, through Saturday, Feb. 7, these dedicated musicians joined the top performers from across Southeast Georgia for an intensive musical marathon:
Aaliyah Beasley (CHS)
Colton Emanuel (CHS)
Lane Lujan (CHS)
Mario Garcia (CHS)
Mateo Tepetate (CMS)
🎼 The Challenge
This wasn't your average concert! These students didn't receive their music until the very first rehearsal on Thursday night. They spent all day Friday and Saturday mastering pieces far more difficult than their daily classroom music—having only 2.5 days to learn it all before performing a spectacular concert on Saturday evening.
👏 Special Thanks to our Directors
A huge thank you goes out to Mr. Alfredo Maruri (CHS Band Director) and Ms. Melanie Grimes (CMS Band Director). We truly appreciate the countless extra hours they invested in working with these students, helping them prepare for their auditions and guiding them through every step of the Honor Band experience.
Congratulations to these students for their hard work, growth, and musical excellence! 🐯🎵

Get your dancing shoes ready, Claxton! 💃👑 We are just days away from the annual Miss CMS/Miss CHS pageant, and Mr. CHS will be crowned, too!
This year’s theme is "Dancing Queens," and it’s going to be an unforgettable night at the CMS/CHS Cafetorium on Saturday, February 21st, at 6:30 PM (doors open at 6:00 PM). Admission is $5.00—and a quick heads-up that it is CASH ONLY, so make sure to hit the ATM on your way! 💵
Our reigning royalty, Miss CHS Ella Massey and Mr. CHS Ezra Davis, will be there to take their final walks and pass their crowns to a new group of leaders. This year, the Miss CMS title will be sought by Alexandria Cody. Competing for the title of Miss CHS are Chloe Blocker, Kamryn Carter, Maci Eason, Samantha Estrada, Anne Fleurmont, Francisca Lopez, Ruthberlie Paul, and Mila Sapp. Our Mr. CHS contestants include Aubrey Hendrix, Easton Minis, and Averi Phillips.
Don't forget to bring some extra "vote money" for the People’s Choice awards! 🗳️ It’s a wonderful tradition where your donations help your favorite contestant win a special award, and every cent goes directly toward the scholarship funds for our new Miss CMS and Miss CHS. 🎓✨
See you under the disco ball, Tigers! 🐅
