Students must provide their own lunch and snacks/water.

This BMS Band MiniCamp will focus on the following:

-Reinforcing fundamentals and other learned skills from the previous year.
-Pep Band and other pop music.
-Students will have also have the opportunity to learn guitar! If you have a guitar, bring it to camp and there will be a guitar session to get started!
-Song Writing and Sound Production (bring your Chromebook)

Students will not only build community through performance, but through other fun interactive activities!

With so many students interested in participating, and with only one director present, this mini camp roster will be determined by the first 45 students to sign up. An email will go out announcing the roster and another email will go out announcing a waiting list, in case a student drops off. 

The Link to sign up goes Live at 6pm in Google Classroom!

Please email Mr. Prado with any questions and I look forward to making music this summer!]]>Tue, 19 May 2026 00:32:54 GMThttps://www.bmsband.org/week-at-a-glance/band-trip-newsDear Band Parents,

We have been waiting to receive pricing for next years band trip and it has arrived!

We will be holding our first band trip meeting this Thursday at 5pm in the BMS Cafeteria. 

The meeting will go over cost and itinerary, and how you can secure your student's spot for this one of a kind trip!

If you are unable to make the meeting, information will be posted in Google Classroom on Thursday.

We will begin collecting payments to secure spots at the end of the month in June. Students will also have fundraising opportunities in the fall to help with the cost. This and other information will be covered in the meeting. We hope to see you this Thursday!

Thank you!
