CHS instrumental music standouts feted at spring concert
Paul Sturm
Chillicothe High School’s instrumental music department presented its annual spring concert for 2021 Wednesday evening, May 5, in CHS’ Gary Dickinson Performing Arts Center. This year’s symphonic band had 81 members, most – if not all – of whom were members of the Marching Hornets during the fall and of whom 17 were participants in the jazz band. Of the 81, not quite one-fourth (18) were seniors.
As is standard practice, band instructor Sarah Cavanah, who was assisted for the first time this year by Holly Noneman, made remarks about the band to the assembled crowd of family members and local music lovers/supporters and announced the variety of traditional local and national award winners for 2020-21.
