Elementary School Visits Are Underway –
I have started my yearly visits to the elementary schools to see the 5th graders. It has been 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.
