Thank you for your support of the Arts at Buist Academy. On Thursday, May 4, 2023, at 6:00 PM we will be holding our Spring Concert and Art Walk "Rockin' the Pans, Rockin' the Arts". 

Our 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade steel drum groups perform as a coherent ensemble. Therefore, for the whole group to be successful, it is vitally important that all members of the group participate in the concert. 

All performers need to be in the music room by 5:45 PM. Student artwork from Middle School grades will be on display on the first floor and in the media center beginning at 5:30 PM. The Concert will begin in the Gym at 6:00 PM.

We look forward to seeing everyone there as we anticipate an enjoyable evening for all.
