Elementary School Visits –
I have made yearly visits to the elementary schools to see the 5th graders. It was a great opportunity to talk about signing up for band. Here is a link to the beginning band sign up form: https://bedfordmsband.com/beginning-band-sign-up-info/. We have a lot to offer here at BMS and the band program is a great way to get involved in our school.

Paige’s music will conduct an instrument display in the BMS Band Building on Tuesday, May 10. Feel free to stop by any time between 6:00 and 7:30 pm.
