Band Buddy Social - May 25th

Students have been writing back and forth all year to an anonymous band buddy, and tomorrow during 1st period, 6th grade band students will finally find out who their high school band buddy is!
We will do a meet and greet, play some fun games, and have some light refreshments. 

Parents, please drop off all 6th grade band students at the HS Band Hall before 8:00am. 
Students that ride the bus should ask the bus driver to let them off at the high school.
Students will be taken back to the middle school after 1st period by school bus.

Pirateland Band Contest in Lytle - May 16th

On Tuesday, May 16, the 6th Grade Band will perform at the Pirateland Band Festival at Lytle HS. There will be three judges, and we will receive comments and ratings from the judges. Trophies will be given out to Superior performing bands. After our performance, we will go eat at CiCi’s Pizza, and then we will go roller skating to celebrate a year of hard work. The cost for pizza buffet and a drink will be $8.00. The cost for each person to go skating will be $7.00. This includes admission, skate rental, and 2 hours of skating. Parents are welcome to attend the band contest and to come skate with us. Skating for adults is the same price as the kids. Everyone that enters must pay this price whether they skate or not. PAYMENT IS DUE BY MAY 12TH!

This is a required performance for all eligible 6th grade band students. I am happy to report that ALL 6th grade band students passed for the 5th 6 weeks! Students will wear their BMS Band t-shirt with blue jeans and school-approved shoes for this performance. (Some shirts are available for purchase. Please contact Mrs. Conard if you still need to purchase a band t-shirt.) Students may bring shorts to change into for skating. Be sure you have a good pair of socks for skating, too!
