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 6th, the 7th and 8th
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. 7th
grade and 8th 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 6th
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 7th and 8th grade
bands will perform in their spring concert on Friday, May 11th 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.
