- April 2009: Symphonic & Concert Bands win
Sweepstakes performances
The tradition
of excellence continues!! For the first time in the history of BBMS,
both our Symphonic & Concert Bands received Sweepstakes trophies for
their performances in the UIL contest on April 1 & 2. This is a
tremendous accomplishment. Our Band Directors, Mr. Crowder & Mr.
Henning, have been tirelessly working towards this goal for many years &
the hard work and dedication of all band members paid off. UIL is the
most important event of the year for bands in the State of Texas--it's
their TAKS test--and a 1st Division, Superior rating is the equivalent
of an “EXEMPLARY”. We are proud of our bands and proud to add this to
the string of trophies on display in the band hall. Nov 2008: Choir Students selected for TMEA
All-region Choir
On Sat Nov 1, TMEA Region 24 All-Region auditions were held at
Timber Creek MS in Grapevine. This process is quite difficult,
and there were over 250 students auditioning. We had two students make the All-Region Choir for 2008-2009: Dejah Thomas,
8th Grade Women’s Choir, and Chelsea
Roberson, 7th Grade Women’s Choir. These
ladies will be attending a clinic on Nov 15 & the
concert will be held at 6:00 pm that evening at RL Turner HS (admittance is free).
