The Camden Middle School Band Program is the home for our awesome band students! The program begins in the 6th grade where they learn the fundamental techniques and basic skills of playing their instrument. Band students continue to develop and master those skills through the 7th and 8th grade. The Band Program consists of the 6th Grade Beginning Band, 7th Grade Band, 8th Grade Band, Festival Band which combines 7th and 8th grade students for GMEA Large Group Performance Evaluations and Jazz Band. Students have the opportunity to receive high school credit for participating in 8th grade band.
The CMS Bands perform two to three concerts each year including a winter concert in December and a Spring Concert in May. The 7th and 8th Grade Band also prepares a Festival program each March to perform at the GMEA Large Group Performance Evaluations.
