Congratulations to the Marching Stars –
The Marching Stars had a strong showing this past weekend at Hamilton Southeastern. The Stars finished in second place and won awards for Best Visual and Best Percussion. Congratulations to the Stars on a another great finish. Good luck at Corydon Central this weekend and keep up the good work.
We have a lot of Bedford MS Alumni marching with the Stars and I hope our current students and parents will be involved in this outstanding program when they get to BNL.

Fall Concert Dates –
I am happy to announce our fall concert dates. The 7th and 8th Grade Bands will play in Schafer Auditorium on October 29. The 6th grade band will perform on November 21 in Schafer Auditorium. As always, our concerts are free and open to everyone. Students should dress appropriately for the event. Boys should wear nice pants and a dress shirt or sweater. Our young ladies wear a nice outfit or dress.
Current Class Standings –
The 6th, 7th and 8th grade bands earn points for group work ethic, concentration and effort. Individual tardiness, talking and lack of effort lower the ensemble’s daily score. Here are the results for this week:
Period 1 8th Grade Band: 51 points
Period 2 8th Grade Band: 28 points
Period 4 6th Grade Band: 28 points
Period 5 6th Grade Band: 13 points
Period 6 7th Grade Band: 24 points
Period 7 7th Grade Band: 12 points
Have a great week!
