The BHS 7^th Annual Symphonic Winter Camp was a huge success this past weekend.  Our students received great instruction from our clinicians and made a huge amount of improvement during the two days.  Due to the success of this weekend’s camp, we have canceled the after-school sectional rehearsals that we scheduled for Tuesday (Woodwinds) and Thursday (Brass) of this week.  The next after-school commitment for Symphonic Band members will be on Tuesday, February 7^th.

 

I also want to thank all of the parents that donated snacks or helped with the preparation and serving of meals during this weekend’s camp.

 

  
Sincerely,
 
Glen Funderburk
Director of Bands
