BMS Band Ranks 9th in the State!
It brings me great joy to announce that the Blanco Middle School 7th/8th Grade Band made the State Finals in the 2017 ATSSB Outstanding Performance Series for their peformance of "Postwood March" in the Class C March Competition.
This was a three-step process that took place over the summer. The first round of competition was at the Regional level. BMS Band placed 1st in Region 12. That accomplishment took us to the Area competition where the judges ranked us 2nd place overall. Only the top two bands advance to the State competition. We then placed 9th overall at the State level, which placed us higher than any other middle school band in our region.
I am thrilled to have accepted the recognition and honor for this award. BMS Bands are the best!

Meeting this Thursday for 8th Grade Band Parents
We will have a meeting this Thursday, May 4th, at 6:30pm in the middle school band hall for all parents of current 8th grade band students. The reason for this meeting is to go over high school marching band information. We will go over schedule, equipment requirements, and will answer any questions you might have. Since high school band is very different than middle school band, please make every effort to attend this meeting. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, email Mr. Hecimovich, BHS Band Director. Thank you!

those families that need it. If you have any trouble covering some or all of
the cost, there is assistance available; however, you must contact me ASAP if
you should need help. Any students that did not attend UIL and are not passing
their classes will not be allowed to attend. Also, due to the fact that I will
buy tickets early to get the best price, there will be no refunds available. Tickets are valid until January 2018.
