Don't own a uke?

Don't worry - you do not have to own a ukulele to participate in the BMS Uke Club. We have 30 ukuleles that you can play during our club meeting time. Thanks to the Guitar Center Music Foundation for providing our Mitchell Ukuleles. These ukuleles are not available for check-out since they are a part of our Maker Space. See below about our "Uke Can Check it Out" program.

"UKE" CAN CHECK IT OUT!

Thanks to a grant, funded by the Cleveland County Arts Council, we have 6 BLUE UKULELES that you can CHECK OUT, for FREE, for two weeks, from the Media Center. To be able to check one out, you AND your parent/guardian must fill out a UKUELE CHECKOUT POLICY Form. Come to the Media Canter for the form or CLICK HERE TO PRINT OUT AT HOME.
