Due to the ongoing pandemic, BFMS is not currently hosting any in-person events. We hope to be able to offer in-person events in the near future! To protect those most at risk of infection from Covid-19, we expect that vaccination and pre-registration will be required when we gather again in-person. Stay tuned for more information - we miss you!.
Please help support our Callers and Musicians
BFMS encourages our members to donate to musicians and callers who had their BFMS sponsored gigs cancelled due to coronavirus. We are no longer accepting donations through our website, but CDSS has established a website for donations to musicians and callers.https://www.cdss.org/covid19/send-love-to-freelancers
If you cannot find contact info for specific performers, please contact our dance chairs, who can provide contact info.
