Watch the BHS Choirs Holiday Concert!
The BHS Choirs recorded their Holiday literature on January 11, 2021. This music was prepared at home, individually by each student. The groups came together on the 11th for the FIRST TIME and sang with their peers -each group was given a total of 30 minutes to sing together, including recording time. CONGRATULATIONS to students - it is obvious they worked hard to know their parts.

Watch the Wind Symphony Fall Concert!
|
On November 16th the BHS Wind Symphony performed in a fully socially distanced recording session. The link to the video is below! The link will require a couple of steps from you. It will require you to provide an email and the link to the video will be sent to you in that way. Please know that this video is completely FREE to view. However, we did want to provide an opportunity for the community to offer some financial support to the band program during this challenging time. This is not required, but of course appreciated! We are sorely missing the normal proceeds from concerts which enable us to provide top quality musical experiences to your students. These funds help keep instruments maintained, accompanists and videographers paid, and even allow us to commission new music and bring in guest artists to work with your students. Please consider making a donation in any amount to help keep the BHS Band Program moving forward.
