CMS Music Boosters

03/11/2026

Join us at the Community Oven in Epping (in Brickyard Square) to support our music students and their music programming this November 23rd!

20% of all Community Oven proceeds (food and alcohol!) will be donated by the Oven to the CMS Music Boosters, including dine in, take out, and DoorDash orders on Monday 11/23 between 4PM and 9PM. Many of our families will be eating at the restaurant as a fun way to spend time together as a school music community, so come on down and say hi! Extra exciting this year - Mr. Desjardins will be facilitating Music Bingo, drop in style, 5-8PM - $3 a bingo card, or 2 for $5! (Guess the song on your bingo card to win a prize!)

Funds raised by the CMS Music Boosters are used toward CMS Music Department related events such as transportation for field trips to see musical performances, curriculum resources, visiting artists, new instruments for their classrooms, or other smaller items such as the ice cream after our spring band, chorus and orchestra concerts.

The Music Boosters are so excited to introduce you to our new CMS chorus teacher! Please help us give a warm welcome to Mr. Chris Desjardins! 🎶

1.) Tell us a little bit about your background as a chorus teacher.

I have been teaching music for 23 years with close to half of those years as a choral conductor. I enjoy working on music from many different genres and styles and am looking forward to working with all the students at CMS this coming year.

2.) What are you looking forward to the most about coming to CMS?

CMS has a robust choral program and I am looking forward to making music with the talented musicians at CMS.

3.) Do you like musical theatre and if so, what is your favorite show?

I love musical theater and I would have to say my favorite musical at the moment is “Come From Away”. I have performed in, music directed, and conducted the pit orchestra for many different shows over the years and am hoping to help out with the CMS musical this year.

4.) What kind of music do you like to listen to in your spare time?

I am a very eclectic musician and I like many different styles and genres of music. I am currently listening to a jazz banjo player named Bela Fleck.

5.) What is your favorite flavor if ice cream?

Maine Blackbear (black raspberry swirled into vanilla ice cream, mixed with chocolate raspberry mini-melts or raspberry-filled chocolate cups).

6.) What are you looking forward to the most about the first day of school?

I am very much looking forward to meeting and seeing all the students at CMS on the first day. Please stop by the chorus room and say hi if you have the time!

Let’s hear it for Mr. Desjardins!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
