C.C. S. another year :)

Thank you so much to all that have continued to support CCS. It is because of our members, mentors families, friends and community that this group is now entering their 3rd year!!

Last year we changed things up and started the Mentor program, with students from Tucson High and Rincon High. The added element made CCS that much better. It motivated not just the students but the directors as well. This addition wouldn't have been possible without the Help of Khris Dodge , Jovert Director at Tucson High. and Beth Theiss Director of Cub Club at Lineweaver Elementary.

As much fun as the past two years have been this year promises to be even better. To keep growing.

This year we have started the CCS Mentor Club at Tucson High. In hopes to keep the mentor program growing. This program is open to ALL Tucson High Students with or without any drumming or musical experience. Along with this , CCS will working with the Tucson High Pom Line.  Thank you To Irene for inviting us to work with this group. CCS will be playing at ALL JV Football Games and a few other performances for the group.  The Mentors will continue to work with Elementary Level students.

We will also be taking CCS over to a local Rec. Center, Chicanos por La Causa. We will be using the Center to provide CCS for more of the community. we will be expanding our age group to 0-18.. Crazy huh?!! Our hope is to be able to reach out to more of the Tucson Community and share this gift with everyone. Growing and learning.  A Schedule will be set for the dates we will offer the Music and dance program at the Rec. center. This will be a Donation Based Program. the Donations will help us provide Snacks and will also help us help the community in hopes to donate food to the locals. :) Just one more way we can help out our community. We will be contacting the Community Food Bank to see how we can help.

Lets not forget our young ones. A lot of talk has been going around about us just leaving Lineweaver Cold and not working there. Yes Alfie and I, both have full time jobs, going to school etc.. We will continue to work the students as I will still be working for the afterschool program. Our Goal is to have our Cub Club kids join with more of the community to make the group more of a community group.  We will have a performance group, a community group and our regular members.

We know we will face challenges and people will doubt us, like they have already. But with hard work, dedication and the support of our loved ones, friends, and community. We hope to continue to show the youth in our community the importance of working together, helping each other and most importantly that we are all community that works together.

We already have some Gigs lining up for the year :)

Thank you again for all the support. We will be posting the new Schedule and times later this week.

if you have any questions regarding CCS please dont hesitate to contact us.
