 All performances are required performances. If your child will not be able to perform with the band, a band director needs to be notified in writing (as stated in the handbook) before Friday, December 7th. Thank you!

Need help with your music or learning an instrument?

Mrs. Conard and Mr. V are available for after-school practice most days of the week from 3:30-4:30pm. 6th Grade students that want to audition for the All-Region Band MUST plan to stay after school to work on the music. Students that are new to band should also make arrangements to stay after school to get caught up with the rest of the class.

If you have any questions about after-school practice, email Mrs. Conard. There is no charge for lessons at the school.

UIL Music Memory

The UIL Music Memory Page has been updated for this year's selections. There is some really good music on the list! The Music Memory event takes place in January. It is open to 6th-8th grade students. We need 5 students in each grade level to make three teams. Students may jump up to a higher grade level, but students cannot go down a grade level. For instance, the 8th grade team can be 7th and 8th grade students. The 7th grade team can be 6th and 7th grade students. The 6th grade team can only be 6th grade students. There will be several practices during lunch, tutorials, and after school from October - January. Please let Mrs. Conard know if you are interested in participating.

Band Forms and T-shirt $ Due by Friday!

6th - 8th Grade Band Students need to return the Band Handbook Form and T-Shirt/Book Order Form by THIS Friday! The t-shirt is a required band purchase and part of our band "uniform." Please contact Mrs. Conard with any concerns.

BMS Band Placed 3rd at Area OPS

The Blanco MS Varsity (7th and 8th Grade) Band placed 3rd in the Area in the ATSSB Outstanding Performance Series (OPS) for their UIL performance recording of "Forward March!" Only the top two advance to State, so we just missed it by one. What does this mean? We can brag that BMS Band is ranked among the Top 15 1C Bands in the State! (...but we don't get a prize...LOL!)
