BCMC SingBig! 2026 ROCKS THE MAC ICE HOUSE

The 7th annual SingBig! summer music camp wrapped up it’s two week program on Friday, August 7th, at the MAC Ice House with a variety of songs that had the packed house clapping and singing along. Under the direction of Joel Newman, 13 area teens worked hard for two weeks on vocal training and stage presence to prepare for their hand picked presentation, “Rainbow Rhapsody.” A special thank you to mentor, Trinity, who also worked the lights during the show and Avett for handling the great sound. BCMC staff, Janet and Stacy, provided any needed support to include getting lunches ready each day for our hungry vocalists. Thanks to all the parents and families who contributed meals, snacks and beverages during the two week period and Jordan and the wonderful staff at the MAC Ice Hose. Finally, a heart warming thank you to our grant partner, The Eastern West Virginia Community Foundation, who continue to support our efforts for young people in Morgan County.

BlackCat Kiddie Music Kamp Was a Blast!

Kiddie Kamp 2026 was another wonderful week of fun and music for area kids aged 6 to 10. Under the direction of Instructor Trinity Anderson and mentors, Mikayla Elmes and Monroe Wohleber, the kids enjoyed singing, dancing, crafts, games and so much more! BCMC staff Janet and Stacy were also on hand for the week long program July 20th through July 24th. Another Kiddie Kamp is scheduled for next July.
