We are doing a Fall Band fundraiser for my students. Proceeds will go to help with uniform costs and to help make our program successful. Use the link below to order items. Also, if you don’t want any items, you can simply donate in the link as well. centuryresources.com/shop/index.asp…

@MrsWintersMusic As I stated in the presentation, I am glad this is a photo, and not a video, because you don’t want to hear a percussionist playing trombone. 😬😂

For anyone going to IMEC this week, I am presenting as part of a panel called “SEL and Music Education: Stories from Teachers Implementing SEL Musically”. I would love to see you join us on Thursday at 9 am in the Four Points Sheraton Ballroom. Come see us tell our stories.

I'm mad that I have to wear a mask while teaching this fall and who knows how long. But I'm not mad because my school district is making me (in fact, they're not). I'm mad because people haven't taken the steps to make all this go away and it's still here and getting worse again.

We wanted to carry on the tradition of our “staff band” for our end of year talent show. Please enjoy our version of “Rain” by The Beatles. #bms_now #bsd2bands #quarantunes

We didn’t have time to edit the students performing, so we did the next best thing. Enjoy! #BMS_now #bsd2bands

Part 2 - How do you get 7th and 8th graders to dance at 7 am?? Bring in an African percussion Trio, of course! #JSCGrant #bsd2bands #bms_now
