 A Message from the Superintendent  
As Birmingham City Schools, along with the greater Birmingham community, celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Frank E. Adams, Sr.,  the Birmingham City Schools Magic City Marching Band Festival provides  the opportunity for us to fondly remember one of our city's greatest  music icons.  The Magic City Marching Band Festival, scheduled to be  held Sunday, November 2 at 2:00 p.m. at Carver High School, began in  1978 under the leadership of Dr. Adams, who retired from BCS in 1997 as a  program specialist in music.  This event, since its inception, has  provided an opportunity for public performance for our system's marching  bands, and has helped to enhance the total band experience for our  students by providing an opportunity for interaction with experts in the  field of music who have offered positive feedback and coaching to our  young musicians.
