A CCHS alumna, Debbie Shelton, returned last week to the band room she loved when she was a student in Carroll County. Shelton was a guest director for the band as it prepares for the state assessment. “This has been so fun for me,” Shelton said. “I fell in love with music in this room and here I am 50 years later with a career I have adored.” Shelton retired after 30 years as a band director in middle and high schools. The CCHS band earned their spot in the state assessments after receiving a distinguished rating during the district music competition. “Playing at the state assessment is a big deal,” Shelton said. They will compete in early May. Shelton gave advice to the band on techniques, how to play portions of the music that will be most attractive to the judges, and encouraged them to continue playing and learning. “As a musician, you’re always learning that you can be better,” Shelton said. “You sound terrific. Keep working on the details.”
