The Cadet Band (6th Grade) & Beginning Band (5th Grade) concert is this THURSDAY, December 13 at 6:30 in the gym at BPMS. Band students need to wear their blue band shirt and jeans. Cadet Band needs to meet in the band room by 6:00pm to warm up. Beginning Band needs to meet at 5:30pm in the gym (put your cases and coats in the cafeteria beforehand). Our concert should not last more than 45 minutes. We have all worked hard this year to insure a quality performance. Attendance is required of each band member. If your child becomes ill before the concert, PLEASE contact us immediately. Each child plays an important part in the ensemble.
If you ordered any poinsettias, they will be used to decorate during the 6:30pm concert and then can be picked up immediately following the concert from the Band Boosters. IF THE WEATHER IS COLD THAT NIGHT, please warm up your car first. These are stunningly beautiful plants but do not tolerate the cold.
Congratulations on a great Spaghetti Dinner!
​On Thursday, January 25, 2018 all of our 6th-8th grade band and choir students (and some 5th grade band students as well!) performed at our 8th Annual Spaghetti Dinner held at Beach Park Middle School. Parents, families, community members, and more were invited to come and enjoy delicious spaghetti, salad, desserts, and live entertainment from our student musicians. We are very proud of our band students for such great performances!
We also wish to send a HUGE thank you to all of our volunteers for helping to make the 8th Annual Spaghetti Dinner an amazing success! Thanks to parents/students/teachers/community members/band boosters who cooked, served, set up, cleaned up, took pictures, took tickets, sold tickets, and supported us by attending the event. We are proud of our strong band and choir community here in Beach Park that can make awesome events like this happen every year!

This Thursday is also the fundraiser pickup. If you ordered any frozen items (pizza or cookie dough, etc.), you will need to pick them up this Thursday between 4-6pm at Beach Park Middle School.
Attention all BPMS Band students and parents! If you sold anything from our last fall fundraiser, your orders and prizes are in! Please come to pick them up at Beach Park Middle School on Thursday, Nov. 16 from 4-6pm. We do not have freezer storage space, so if you have any frozen items, you MUST pick them up or they will spoil. Please arrive with plenty of time to get your items. There will be a lot of cars at the school for various events and meetings so you will need some time for parking. We cannot stay after 6pm so arrive as early as possible. Thank you!
6:00PM- Students can enter the building through the ZB Athletic/Pool Entrance. Go to the choir room to meet the rest of our band and check in with Mrs. Grabot or Ms. Buchanan.
