Fiesta TX trip information

We are going to Fiesta TX on Friday, May 19th. Most 7th and 8th grade band students have chosen to attend this fun trip.

Students should wear a Blanco shirt (band shirt or other) along with shorts or jeans.
Students will be dismissed from class around 9:15am, and we plan to leave BMS around 9:30am.

While at the park, students are to stay in groups of 3 or more, and we will have at least one check-in.
We plan to stay until 5pm. If you are picking up your child before 5pm, please text me and I will meet you at the front gate to sign out. Do not leave with your child without touching base with me or Mr. H.
Depending on traffic, we expect to be back to BMS around 6:00pm.
The weather forecast calls for a chance of rain on Friday. Please keep all fingers crossed, pray, send good vibes, etc. that we will have nice weather. We are working on a Plan B just in case.
If you have any questions, please email.

Meeting this Thursday for 8th Grade Band Parents

We will have a meeting this Thursday, May 4th, at 6:30pm in the middle school band hall for all parents of current 8th grade band students. The reason for this meeting is to go over high school marching band information. We will go over schedule, equipment requirements, and will answer any questions you might have. Since high school band is very different than middle school band, please make every effort to attend this meeting. A letter was sent home with all 8th graders last week. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, email Mr. Hecimovich, BHS Band Director. Thank you!
