Spring Concerts and Performances

The year may be almost over, but we've still got a lot going on in the band room.  Our solo contest was held on April 21 and we had outstanding results.  Students performed very well and received great scores.  Please take an opportunity to congratulate your students on their hard work.  Thank you also to all who came out to our annual Turkey Supper in April.  We had a blast!

On Sunday, May 6^th, the 7^th and 8^th grade bands will march in the Brandon Loyalty Day parade.  The parade starts at 2:00 and runs along Holly Blvd. from the high school to Main Street and then turns south on Main to the lumberyard.  The seventh grade band is the first thing in the parade and the eighth graders are last, so come out and show support for those students.  7^th grade and 8^th grade students should report to the middle school at 1:00pm.  Holly Blvd. will be blocked off for the parade beginning at 1:00, so please don’t be late!  *Due to the Aspen road construction project and the altered route, students will be dismissed from the end of the parade route, which is the corner of Main St. and Dogwood Ave.  They can either walk back to the middle school or find their family and friends along the route.  Please make arrangements with your students ahead of time for what you would like them to do after the parade is through.

Spring concerts will be held on Thursday, May 3 for the 6^th grade band and chorus at 7:45 in the PAC.  The time has pushed back to accommodate the senior athletic banquet, so please note the time change.  The 7^th and 8^th grade bands will perform in their spring concert on Friday, May 11^th at 7:00 in the PAC.

Over the summer, consider enrolling in a music camp or the Sioux Falls Parks and Rec Summer band program.  Camps are held at SDSU from June 10-15, at USD from July 8-13, and at Mt. Rushmore from July 29-August 3.  Sioux Falls Summer Band meets at Edison Middle School two mornings per week throughout the summer, and is only $30 for the entire summer!  These are all great ways to keep yourself playing and increase your musicianship throughout the summer.  Scholarships of $100 are awarded to any student attending a music camp from the BV Band Parents!  More information is available from either Mrs. Baker or Mr. Miller.
