The BSMS orchestra is very fortunate to have the support of FCPS for instrument repairs and purchases. However, there are some items that must be purchased by the BSMS orchestra funds. Throughout the year we do various fundraisers to help raise funds to purchase music, strings, storage, and other items necessary for the classroom. The BSMS orchestra is always accepting monetary donations (checks may be written to BSMS orchestra). However, if you would prefer to purchase a gift for the orchestra, we have provided a wish list of items we currently need.
