Winter Concert Gala: December 7th | 6:00pm
Join us for our Winter Gala Holiday Concert, with performances by Jazz Ensemble, Beginning Band, Guitar, Orchestra, and Advanced Band.
This wonderful event showcases the hard work our students have put into their music this semester and will definitely put you in the mood for the holidays. These performances are mandatory for ALL of our students, so be sure to mark your calendar and save the date today!
Now Seeking Donations, Concert Volunteers, and Raffle Items
CIMA will be offering a light dinner and traditional desserts for purchase, to help raise money for our music program. We ask all parents to please visit the [Sign-up Genius] to indicate how your family will participate, whether it be to provide concessions, run errands, or help out at the event itself. We are looking for several shifts of helpers so volunteers can rotate out to see their children perform.
Our Winter Concert always includes a raffle featuring fabulous prize baskets, and it's never too early to start! Do you own a business, frequent a favorite shop, or have spare tickets to a local experience? We would be delighted to include your contribution!
We are accepting gift certificates, merchandise, tickets, and more. All donations will be recognized on our website (www.correiamusic.com), and the business name will be placed on publicity materials, as well as announced at the concert. Some donated items may be reserved for our silent auction at the Spring Concert.
Items may be dropped off at the school (attention: CIMA) anytime before Dec. 7th, and please send a confirmation email to Shannon Ransom, CIMA Vice President, who is tracking items as they come in. She also is happy to answer questions about this opportunity!
2023-24 Jazz Residency - With Derek Cannon
Congratulations to the Jazz Ensemble for their great performance with Jazz Artist in Residence, Derek Cannon. Our Jazz ensemble spent an intense week in rehearsals with artists Mr. Cannon, John Rekevics, and Glen Fisher, who shared a wealth of knowledge while really sharpening up the skills of our young musicians. The residency culminated in a near flawless performance at Aquarius Bar & Grill on November 23.
A special thank you to Glen Fisher and the First Friday Club for their work and support in putting together the Jazz Residency once again this year.
ATTENTION JAZZ PARENTS
Mr. Dwyer is seeking great pictures that might have been taken during the residency performance. If you have any and are willing to share please add to this Jazz Residency Picture Folder Here OR email Mr. Dwyer.
It's a great time to get involved!
We need YOU for CIMA!
DON'T FORGET... On November 29 at 6:00pm we will have our next meeting of Correia Instrumental Music Association - the Booster Club that supports Mr. Dwyer's excellent music program. Our meetings are informative, casual, and fun! We will meet at the home of CIMA Treasurer, Lesli Gallagher (4103 Catalina Place, 92107). Everyone is welcome at any time.
CIMA is full of 8th grader parents right now who will move on next year, so now would be a great time to join if you are a 7th grader parent who'd like to help out. Mr. Dwyer or Joe Russell, CIMA President, would be happy to discuss the organization with you!
