Ball in the House Visits BMS

Ball in the House performing at BMS
BMS had the pleasure of hosting the a cappella group Ball in the House earlier this week, courtesy of the BMS PTO.

Their music and sounds were amazing! Students and teachers got in on the excitement. We were educated about harmony, beatbox and rhythm and the technology behind it, and the importance of collaboration and teamwork. They had some brave volunteers try out pieces of it and answered many great questions. Please visit www.ballinthehouse.com for more information and great videos and see what we posted on the BMS PTO Facebook page.

Thank you to all of our BMS families for supporting our school and fundraising efforts. Programs like this are fabulous for our students!
