Our 2026 Snap! Raise campaign has officially wrapped up, and thanks to the generosity of our families, friends, community supporters, and sponsors, we raised $12,980 with support from over 240 donors!
Every donation helps support CMS Band students and programs throughout the 2026–2027 school year, creating meaningful opportunities and experiences for our student musicians.
Thank you to everyone who donated, shared our fundraiser, and helped spread the word. Your support means so much to our students and the entire CMS Band community!

Some of our 7th and 8th grade band students had the opportunity to march alongside the Chichester High School Band in this year's Homecoming Parade!
Looking sharp in their black CMS Band shirts, our students represented Chichester Middle School with pride and gave everyone a glimpse of the next generation of Chi musicians!
Way to represent, CMS Band! We are proud of you! 🎶🦅
