“I was really nervous about joining an established society like BAOS, but everyone is so accommodating & after a couple of rehearsals I felt like I had been a member for years. I’ve not only had a great time performing, I’ve made some great friends in the process. I just wanted to say as a new member of BAOS how thankful I am to have met you all and have had such an amazing time. You’ve all made me feel so welcome and comfortable to be my absolute self so thank you.”
“BAOS is like a huge family where you are immediately made welcome and have lots of fun the minute you walk in.”
