The BIEMS All City streak is still alive!

The band came in hot with nearly half our 7th and 8th grade band program making up almost half of the entire All City Honor Band, including both 7th graders and first-year players taking 17 of those spots, specifically!

With our leadership, academic, and musical growth, clearly BIEMS students work hard and play harder🎺! And that’s why we’re

We’re looking forward to our concert Tuesday and even more to our first-ever band college tour and side-by-side with the UCO Stampede of Sound Marching Band when we get back from break! It’ll be a blast!

It has been a weekend in the best kind of way!

Last night, our orchestra kids rocked the house with nearly half of the All City orchestra being exclusively from THE Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School. Many of whom actually play 1-2 extra band instruments!

Today, 17 of our band students auditioned for CODA, an honor band for the metro, including those at All City Orchestra last night.

Safe to say our kids have been putting in the work!

We’d like to give a special shout out to the following students that made CODA today:

Gage, 3rd chair tuba
Silas, 7th chair horn
And, the beast, Antonio, that beat BOTH 8th AND 9th graders to get his second chair spot for horn!

Way to freaking go, y’all!

Next up: Student body concerts on the 13th, All City band auditions on the 15th, and the fall concert on the 18th!

We’ve generally had some students practicing at the library while they waited for their guardian the last few years. However, last year, our most recent alumni and current students practiced so much that the library has taken it upon themselves to designate a dedicated time and place just for Belle Isle students to play music.

We all know it takes a village, a love for music, and a place to do it. And the staff of the Belle Isle Library have shown that not only are they a safe place to be and enjoy music, but they want to encourage and promote to all of our students.

We cannot thank them enough. We know librarians are the unsung heroes of reading literacy and performance, our kids adore theirs, and these folks have proven, yet again, just how awesome they are to our students.

We also want to give a shout out to our recent alumni. You know who you are, and this is a prime example that when you lead by example, people notice and opportunities are made. You not only made yourself better and created opportunities for yourself to be successful, but also have now created opportunities for others. Thank you for leading our legacy yet again, even if you didn’t realize you would be.

We know our alumni/guardians of alumni have been wanting updates on pep band for this year:

We are planning to have pep band for a basketball and soccer game (no football team this year)!

We will have exact dates after season schedules come out, we have a chat with coaches, and update here! Hopefully next year we’ll be able to do one for volleyball, too!
