BCS Students Shine in Bay Area Events

BCS Choirs Earn Top Marks at Festival

Earlier this month, all five of the BCS choirs, spanning grades 1-8, participated in the CMEA Choral Festival in San Jose.   The BCS Treble Voices, G-Clef, Sonore, Cambiata and Mattiniere each performed 3 pieces and were adjudicated by 3 different judges.  EVERY ONE of these choirs, whether at the beginning or intermediate level, received an “Unanimous Superior” rating - the highest score possible - from every adjudicator.   The Cambiata Choir performs at the CMEA Festival held in San Jose Additionally, Sonore (grades 4-6) and Mattiniere (grades 7 & 8), our two intermediate level groups, were judged on their sight-reading abilities, the ability to sing a 2-3 part song they had never seen before.  Both choirs also garnered “Superior” grades! Mr. Belles, our choir director, and all the students are to be congratulated for these tremendous achievements!   BCS' All Female Mattiniere Middle School Choir If you would like a chance to hear these amazing ensembles, please attend the Choir Concert on May 20th at Cubberley Community Center or a special performance by some of them at our 10 Year Anniversary and Open House celebration on May 22nd! 8th Grade Student Received Leadership Award Congratulations to our very own 8th grade student, Damoni Nears, for being recognized by the Santa Clara County Alliance of Black Educators at their 25th Annual Spring Recognition Ceremony.
