BMS BAND SETS NEW RECORDS IN 2017!

Our Blanco Band Kids are AMAZING! They have set TWO new records for BMS in 2017!

1.) January 17, 2017 - ATSSB All-Region Band - 22 students made the band. This is an all-time BMS record! 

2.) March 2, 2017 - Region 12 UIL Concert and Sight-Reading Contest -  BMS Band received a "1" on stage and a "1" in sight-reading, earning the highest "Sweepstakes" Award. This was the first time in at least 10 years (and possibly in Blanco MS history) that BMS Band has received Sweepstakes!

More information can be found on the 7th/8th grade band page and on the Awards page.

Keep up the GREAT work, kids!
Panther Band - To The Top!!!
