A group of 43 CCHS symphonic band students achieved top honors at the Kentucky Music Educators District 5 large group assessment.
“This is the first time since I’ve been here that they received straight ones from the panel,” CCHS Band Director Brad Howard said. The band will perform in the state concert band competition in May at the University of Louisville.
The band played two songs at the district competition and was awarded the distinguished rating. Howard said it’s quite an accomplishment for the musicians to get such a score.
“They’re incredibly motivated. I have really talented kids,” he said. “You could tell they were a lot more driven this year than in years prior.”
Howard noted that a lot of band students have extra rehearsals and private lessons outside of school, but this band does not. “Everything is done in class so kids who are in sports or other extracurricular activities don’t have conflicts. I don’t want them to have to pick,” he said.
Most of the symphonic band is upperclassmen, but there are 15 freshman and sophomores that round out the group. Among the upperclassmen, at least three have auditioned for college scholarships and plan to pursue a career related to music.

Students in Carroll County High School's law enforcement pathway worked recently on collecting fingerprints. These students are doing cyanoacrylate fuming on items they brought in and then dusting them for latent prints. Once they get a print, they collect it and put it on a card mark and label the print. This is a small part of the Project Based Learning component that lasts an entire semester for the dual credit class in Criminal Investigations.
