We are officially closed for Summer Break! Mr. Wheelock looks forward to seeing everyone back next school year!
On Tuesday, Dec. 5th the BCMS Choir program presented their annual Winter Choir Concert. Congratulations to our singers on a well sung performance.
Thank you to the choir parents, as well as the CHISD staff for their attendance. We are very grateful to have a community that supports our choir program.
A video recording of the choir concert has been uploaded to the choir website and can be viewed on the Concerts page (as well as previous concert videos).

A reminder that 7th/8th grade choir students have All-Region Auditions coming up on January 20th. Students are asked to spend time every day practicing their audition music. Copies of the sheet music and practice tracks are availible on the All-Region Resources page. Additionally, after school sectionals for Sopranos and Altos are scheduled below. If you would like to schedule a sectional time for your section, please speak with Mr. Wheelock.
Students are also allowed to attend any other section's sectional time to work on their part, provided they are not a disruption to the scheduled section.
The BCMS Choir Program has begun using the app BAND to facilitate informal communication between the director and the students. This app is designed for use in school programs and allows the director to send short messages to the entire program or individual choirs.
Students are also able to send messages to the director. This works well for outside of school events such as performances and/or trips that we take. The use of this app is recommended, but not requried for all students. Students can sign up by following the link below.
Mr. Wheelock invites you to join 'BCMS Choir' group on BAND, the app designed for groups to stay connected.
Come join now!

BAND is a group communication app that serves over 20 million groups across the world to stay connected.
On Saturday, Dec. 9th members of the Select Treble Choir visited the Windsor Gardens Nursing Home to spread some Holiday Cheer and sing some Christmas tunes for the residents.
