Dear members and students,
Congratulations on a stellar performance last Sunday! We are
fortunate to have such dedicated musicians and conductors that have transformed BAYS into a highly regarded and respected supplemental music ensemble. Thank you all for your unremitting dedication.
If you didn't get to place your DVD or CD order you may still do so by emailing Bob Anderson at
[email protected].
We are excited to get working on new music for our upcoming Winter Concert on February 4, 2018. We have a fun and exciting music repertoire lined up but it also very challenging. Students should plan to attend all rehearsals.
Congratulations and welcome to all our new mid-season String and Symphony students! We look forward to having you join us at our first rehearsal back this Sunday, Dec. 3 at Westbrook Intermediate School.
Lastly, BAYS is continuously striving to provide the very best musical experience for our musicians and we appreciate feedback from both parents and students. If you have
anything you would like to share, please call us at 501-819-BAYS(2297) or email to [email protected].
