CCS performed Becoming America
“It was an incredibly fun night,” said Natalie Renfroe, who director of bands along with assistant director Hannah Smith. Renfroe also serves as CCS’s fine arts chair.
“The goal of this [band] program is not just learn an instrument, but to be His instrument,” Renfroe said. “The CCS Band prepares students to be independent, life-long musicians who understand how creating music brings them closer to their creator.
“Our inspiration is Genisis-2:3 when God breathed life into Adam to activate him,” the director said. “We breathe into our instruments and bring instruments life. We want to be God's instruments.”
Regarding the concert, Renfroe said 125 students, made up of fifth- through 12th-graders, performed, showcasing absolute beginners to CCS’s 12th-grade high school concert, jazz and marching band.
