Band Current Happenings

  • Currently, we are working on music for our parade performances and the Winter Concert.

  • Please be sure to read through all Reminds as they are sent out.

  • We have kicked off our Otis Spunkmeyer Cookie Dough Fundraiser.  This is usually a fantastic fundraiser for us.  Orders and money are due on November 19th during band class.  Each item costs $22.  Please bring the exact change and make checks out to Brighton Band Boosters.

  • Football Playoffs – This week, the football team will be playing at Beech High School for playoffs.  Because this is a middle Tennessee game, we will not be in attendance as a band.  If the football team wins this game, there is a chance the next round game will be closer to home, so please keep your Friday evenings open for now.

  • We have a band booster meeting on November 12th at 7:00PM in the BHS Band Room.  We will make an exciting announcement pertaining to the 2025-2026 BHS school year.  We encourage attendance.

  • Information pertaining to attire and logistics for the Veterans Day Parade, Christmas Parade, and Winter Concert have been sent out through Remind.  Be sure to read through this information and plan accordingly.

  • Please do not forget to pay your band fee for the 2024-2025 school year.  With competition season nearing, we are in need of these funds to travel and compete.
