Last week, BCS was lucky to welcome the Brass Trio from the Vermont Symphony Orchestra for an awesome musical performance through their Musicians-in-Schools Programs. Students learned about the art and science of playing brass instruments. They played some familiar tunes like the theme from Star Wars and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." We even got to see how household items can be turned into instruments when the trio played using funnels and hoses to make music! Thanks to Mr. Holder for organizing this fun event.
