Hello Everyone,
As in recent Springs, CPMC and the Coatesville Indoor Drumline will host the Mid-Atlantic Percussion (MAPs) Championships on April 14, 2012. We will be welcoming 14 indoor drumline programs from across the Region onto the 9/10 and CASH campus. The MAPS organizers keep returning to Coatesville for Championships, because we have consistently provided an outstanding experience to all the Indoor programs for Championships. That has only been possible because CPMC has the best parent volunteers! So, Let's show them how it's done again this year! This also happens to be a major Spring fund raising event for CPMC as well. I've attached a list of the MAPs volunteers we've heard from so far. Please look over the list of area's in which volunteers are needed and either get back to Darlene McCormack darmccor@aol.com directly with where you can volunteer some of your time, or come on out to next Wed.'s (3/14) CPMC General Meeting @ 6:30pm in the CASH Library to sign-up. After the meeting that night the committees will be getting together to discuss preparations for MAPs. Thank You!
