CAPA stands for Carlmont Advocates for Performing Arts.   CAPA is an umbrella association of Carlmont parents working with Mr. DaBaldo (Instrumental Music), Ms. Tep (Vocal Music), Ms. Martin (Drama) and Ms. Secrist (Dance).  I look forward to working with Mr. DaBaldo and the many students making up Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Intermediate String Orchestra, Symphony Orchestra, and Jazz Ensemble, and also look forward to meeting and working with many of you this school year.  This is the fourth year for Mr. DaBaldo as Instrumental Music Teacher at Carlmont, and my first year as chair of Instrumental Music CAPA.
