Cab students in recording session
Two busloads of Cab musicians traveled to Philadelphia recently for a session in a recording studio, thanks to some help from Cabella Calloway Langsam. Langsam, Cab Calloway’s daughter, has a number of contacts in the music business, and set up the recording session for Cab students in November. The result was Happy Holidays 2011 by various vocal and instrumental groups from Cab’s middle and high schools, including the High School Choir, Jazz Band, JazzChords, piano majors and Middle School 6th/7th Grade Choir and the Eighth Grade Choir.
Hear more about the Happy Holidays project on WDEL Radio (1150 AM). Download the podcast here.
Happy Holidays features 15 tracks of holiday songs, and is available at the Cab Calloway Main Office for $20. An accompanying DVD with video clips of the making of the CD is available for $5. What better way to celebrate the season than with a little “Hot Chocolate” and “Let it snow”?

Way to go Cassie!
Congratulations to Cassandra J! Cassandra and her partner qualified for the 2012 US Figure Skating National Championships this past week. She will be competing in San Jose, California January 22 – 29, 2012, based on her performance this week in the Pacific Coast Sectionals held in Salt Lake City, Utah.
In general, skaters qualify for the U.S. Championships in one of six ways:
•Placing in the top four in novice, junior or senior at the current season’s sectional championships
•Placing in the top five in a senior event at the previous year’s U.S. Championships
•Winning a medal at the most recent Olympic Winter Games
•Winning a medal at the previous year’s World Championships
•Advancing to the current season’s Grand Prix Final or Junior Grand Final
•Earning an “international bye” based on proximity of an international assignment in the current season to the sectional championships
More than 1,300 events, which include performances, exhibitions and competitions, are sanctioned by U.S. Figure Skating each year. The nine regional competitions, followed by three sectional competitions, begin the pipeline of U.S. Figure Skating’s qualifying competitions, which lead top athletes to U.S., World and Olympic levels. In the past eight years, approximately 20,000 figure skaters have competed at the regional level.
The U.S. Championships are the premier event conducted each year by U.S. Figure Skating. The competition features more than 250 skaters vying for national titles in three divisions (senior, junior and novice).
