Parents,
As your students are preparing for their placement audition on Tuesday at Milton High School, I would like to meet with any parents that are interested in a leadership position with the Cambridge Band Boosters. We will need parents skilled in marketing and sales to spearhead some fundraising efforts, some legal experience to assist with tax documents and legal organization, and accounting skills to formulate and manage budgets. While these are specific requests, ANY parents with the interest and desire to assist leading this organization are encouraged to attend.
We will meet in the Community Room at HUDSON GRILLE (Hwy 9 across from Lowes) THURSDAY, MARCH 29 at 7:30 PM. If you are able to attend please RSVP to cambridgehsbd@gmail.com - and if you are interested in serving the boosters leadership and are unable to attend please share that in an email as well.
GOOD LUCK to your students in their auditions - I hope to see many of you Tuesday and Thursday.

Audition Questions
Parents and Students,
In less than two weeks the first major student event in the band program at Cambridge High School will take place. All students interested in participating in the band at Cambridge will need to complete an audition at Milton High School on Tuesday, March 27th. The auditions are PLACEMENT auditions - ALL students that audition will be in the band program at Cambridge High School. It is the intention to have a select auditioned ensemble and additional concert ensembles at Cambridge. All middle school directors and Mr. Walsh at Alpharetta have the audition materials and information - please don't hesitate to ask them for it or email me directly at borger@fultonschools.org.
Immediately after the auditions, I will be placing students in the appropriate ensemble. It is critical that students also be registered for the correct school at this time. I am aware several students are still resolving the issues of attending Cambridge or Milton/Alpharetta. It will be impossible to set the ensembles properly if students are still deciding after the audition date. I have made every effort to be impartial and listen to concerns - I will continue to do this for any students and parents that have questions, but it will make the scheduling process for all high schools much more accurate if the registration information is in the computer before the auditions on March 27th.
Thanks for your assistance with this first timeline issue.
I am eagerly anticipating the announcement of the Cambridge Orchestra and Chorus Directors next Wednesday!
I hope to see many of you at the Gala Saturday, and golf outing on Monday!! GO BEARS!!

Cambridge Fight Song!
Announcing the melody for the Cambridge High School Fight Song . . . "The Victors" from the University of Michigan! For some history check out the Wikipedia article on "The Victors," - John Philip Sousa is quoted as saying "The Victors is the greatest college fight song ever written.".
Now it's your chance to contribute to the new traditions of Cambridge High School! We need our own original and exciting lyrics to the CAMBRIDGE FIGHT SONG and you can share your own ideas. Please send any submissions to the following email address - cambridgehsbd@gmail.com - and updates will be posted on this blog. Only appropriate and serious submissions will be considered and all must include the name of the student submitting the lyrics. For a helpful YouTube video of the music and lyrics follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mURDwg_wilE&feature=youtube_gdata_player. You can also download the victors on iTunes - but make sure it is "The Victors" and not "Hail to the Victors," they are completely different songs.
Continue to check the blog often for several more updates including audition information, uniform design, and staff announcements. Hope to see many Cambridge Band Families at the Gala on March 17th and/or the Golf Outing on March 19th.
