BMU is fortunate to have a robust music program. The music program is open to all grades and is integrated into the curriculum through your younger years; when students get to highschool, they choose if students would like to continue into band or chorus. BMU is a small school but music is always something that brings people together. The annual winter concert is a perfect example of music bringing people from the community together.
