The BFA music program offers a variety of programs to showcase each student’s creativity and talent.  As part of BFA’s focus on the arts, each year every grade has the opportunity to participate in a musical performance in front of a live audience.

If you love acting, singing, dancing, or working behind the scenes on plays, listen up! All students, grades 6 – 8, are welcome to join!

This is a nationally recognized honor society for students who are serious about theater. It’s a great way to get involved in our school’s theatre program and earn recognition for your dedication.

So if your student is interested, they can come join our Fine Arts Teachers!
