How do I convert an array of floats to a byte[] and back?

I have an array of Floats that need to be converted to a byte array and back to a float[]... can anyone help me do this correctly?

I'm working with the bitConverter class and found myself stuck trying to append the results.

The reason I'm doing this is so I can save runtime values into a IO Stream. The target storage is Azure Page blobs in case that matters. I don't care about what endian this is stored in, as long as it input matches the output.

static  byte[] ConvertFloatToByteArray(float[] floats)
        {
            byte[] ret = new byte[floats.Length * 4];// a single float is 4 bytes/32 bits

            for (int i = 0; i < floats.Length; i++)
            {
               // todo: stuck...I need to append the results to an offset of ret
                ret = BitConverter.GetBytes(floats[i]);

            }
            return ret;
        }


 static  float[] ConvertByteArrayToFloat(byte[] bytes)
{ //to do }
