GREAT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR MUSIC PROGRAMS!

• First, in the ‘23-24 school year, our BHS marching band took a big leap and stepped into a more challenging competition level. Despite the increased demands, only one year later, the group was invited to compete at the ISSMA Scholastic B State Finals. The group performed wonderfully and ended the day with a 10th place finish.

• Next, our premier show choir, the Batesville Singers, has experienced over 100% growth in size, allowing them to compete at a higher level during show choir competitions.  Additionally, in May 2024, these same musicians were in the “Sweet 16” of Indiana choirs. Qualifying for the Top 16 Choir in the state is a huge accomplishment as this competition includes all 682 schools in the state, regardless of size. 

• Finally, our middle school music programs have experienced HUGE growth.  We now have 225 students in the middle school participating in their band or choir. This will help ensure we have robust classes of incoming freshmen in the next few years.
