Chesterfield-Ruby Middle School Band Awards
The Chesterfield-Ruby Middle School Band Program achieved a great deal of success this year. First, 21 students auditioned with schools in the Pee Dee area and all 21 earned a seat in “Eastern District Honor Band”. Then, 23 students auditioned with schools in the Eastern half of S.C and all 23 earned a seat in “Region 5 Honor Band”. CRMS had the most students in honor band than any other school in the Region. Finally, 15 students scored high enough to audition with all schools in S.C and 1 student earned a seat as an “Allstate Honor Band” alternate.
CRMS band set three school records: 1) the highest number of students in Region 5 honor band, 2) the highest number of students who auditioned for Allstate and, 3) a 100% success rate for students auditioning for E. District and Region 5 Honor Band.
Through hard work and dedication, the students also earned the highest rating of “Superior” from all 5 judges at “Junior Concert Festival”. Additionally, 34 students received “Superior” and “Excellent” ratings from judges at “Solo & Ensemble Festival” where a total of 36 individual students and groups performed.
As a result of the bands’ overall success, the students earned a consecutive “Outstanding Performance Award”- the highest recognition from the state Band Director’s Association. The Chesterfield-Ruby Middle School band is under the direction of Brandon Sanders, who was selected as a clinician for the 2012-13 Region 5 Junior Alternate Band.

CRMS Students participate in South Carolina Read-In 2013
|
Forty-eight students from Chesterfield-Ruby Middle School joined over 2,000 other students from around the state and assembled on the State House grounds April 11th to celebrate the importance of reading and libraries. Sponsored by the SC Association of School Librarians and the SC State Library, the festivities began with a parade down Senate Street from the State Library to the State House. A school roll call was conducted once the students were on the State House steps. After a program of entertainment, the students read together. “Kids who read succeed” was the theme for Read-In 2013. The Read-In emphasizes the impact libraries and reading have on students.
