National Anthem at Home Coming
Next week is Home Coming Week at BHS! On Friday, October 20th Choir and Musical Theatre will sing the National Anthem at the Homecoming Football Game! Students should wear their choir t-shirts and will get into the game for free! We will all meet in front of the band bleachers at 6:30 pm and will sing immediately following the band's pre-game performance. After we sing, students can stay for the game or are free to go. Fall Donation Drive Update: We will be wrapping up our annual Fall Donation Drive this coming week. THANKS SO MUCH to everyone who has helped out! Your support goes such a long way!
