🎶📝🎤CMS and CHS celebrated Black History Month with melodies, poetry, art, harmonies, and showstoppers!🎤📝🎶 Our Tigers wowed the crowd with a spectacular Black History Month program yesterday! From the CMS/CHS choir's soul-stirring rendition of "Lift Every Voice and Sing" to a moving poem about "The Impact of Martin Luther King" shared by CHS student, Gaby Francis, the performances were nothing short of inspiring! But wait, there's more! The CHS drama class took the stage with a powerful performance of "Dreaming" by Doretha L. Taylor, while the CHS concert band mesmerized us with "As Tears Fall of Dawn's New Light." 🎭🎶 And let's not forget the incredible performances from the CMS/CHS color guard/dance class, who brought "The Letter from Nettie" from The Color Purple and "Glory" by John Legend to life with grace and passion! Adding to the ambiance of this year's CMS/CHS Black History Month celebration were the amazing art panels created by our talented Tigers in our CHS art classes. 🎨✨ It was an unforgettable showcase of talent, culture, art, and history. Thank you to our CMS/CHS fine arts students, staff, and friends for all they poured into our Tigers for this year's celebration!
