The Sound of Music

It was such an honor to be at the opening night of "The Sound of Music" held in the CCHS auditorium. Due to the upcoming construction project, this will be the final musical held in this auditorium, but we are all anxiously awaiting our new 800 seat auditorium that will be ready for the 2011 musical performance.

At Friday night's performance, the high school staff had the foresight to recognize the cast of the 1977 performance of "The Sound of Music", which was the first musical in our auditorium. It was such an honor to have those alumni back for the this final performance in the current facility. They are the ones who paved the way for the wonderful experiences our students are having today.

I was amazed at the quality of Friday's performance. The students were absolutely incredible, and our staff did a tremendous job of preparing them. Participation in these types of events are such a valuable part of the total educational experience. As I said before, I was honored to have witnessed the event.
