Wind Ensemble is Headed to Midwest Clinic!

A huge congratulations to Centennial's Wind Ensemble as they were invited received to perform at The Midwest Clinic in December!

The Midwest Clinic is the largest international music education conference in the world with over 17,000 attendees a year. An invitation to perform at The Midwest Clinic is the highest recognition a high school band program can receive. Only five high school concert bands are invited to perform each year from across the country. The CHS Wind Ensemble will perform a 60-minute program of new and traditional music at the conference in December 2025.

For context, it is such a competitive process that in 2018, the CHS Wind Ensemble was the first high school concert band in 45 years to be invited from the state of Maryland. No other high school in Maryland has received this honor since 2018.

Congratulations to Mr. Matchim and the CHS Wind Ensemble!
