If you have ever been to an 8th grade band concert, it's hard not to be impressed with the skill of our 8th graders. That skill is a result of the hard work of our students, Mr. Maurizio, and Mrs. Haas. Here are a few pictures of our current 6th graders taking the first step in the process to becoming great musicians at BMS by playing their first note with their instruments!
