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.
