Guest clinician coming tomorrow!

We are very fortunate to have guest clinician, Mrs. Rhonda Alm, coming out tomorrow to work with the BMS Varsity UIL Band. She will rehearse the band and discuss different "opportunities" within the context of the music. Her professional advice will help us work our way towards another Sweepstakes award. To the top, Panther band!
