BHMA Gigging is Back!
The BHMA bands are back making music in the community! Whether it’s the
NeurodiversiTones at Keystone Commons, the Capabilities and our soloists
at the Belchertown Fair, the Jazz Quintet providing entertainment for the
Children’s Advocacy Center of Hampshire County, John Libera performing
at the Stanford Neurodiversity Summit, SHINE Dance troupe at Rockridge
Retirement, or the Sound Squad rocking in Chicopee, our bands have been
spreading their music all around the Valley! Our second-year Music and
Human Services groups have also been busy, volunteering their time by
bringing music to the older adults at Holyoke Health Care and Arbors of
Amherst.
Our bands had the opportunity to spread patriotic cheer at Six Flags for
Veteran’s Day as well as the fall and winter spirit at various nursing and
assisted living facilities, and the Holiday Stroll in South Hadley. The holidays
come early to BHMA starting on December 16th with an afternoon and
evening planned to get you in the mood for the holidays!
December 16th Events:
1:00pm- An original play with BHMA’s acting class
2:00pm- House Band Performance
6:00pm- Winter Ensemble Concert
Don't forget, our Variety Hour on Fridays at 2:00pm are open to friends,
family, and the community. We would love to see you!

I love seeing how BHMA uses music to bring people of different ages and abilities together across the community. Performances at care homes, local events, and advocacy organizations show how music can create genuine connections. I enjoy that same feeling of engagement in PokeSurvivor, a pokemon survival game where each run brings new challenges and encourages me to adapt my strategy as enemy waves grow stronger.
I like finding discussions where people naturally share useful information without making things complicated. I recently used CPS test to learn about click test methods and mouse control while improving my clicking consistency.
