BHS Chorus to Sing a FB Game September 9th
Parents,
On Friday, September 9th ALL choir students will sing the National Anthem at the football game on the football field. This is a required performance. The choir has never sung at a football game and we are really excited for this opportunity. Choir students will get in for free. Parents, you will need to pay admission if you come to the game. Students should meet Mr. Patton right inside the main gate at 6:10 PM. We will warm up, sing through the Anthem a few times and perform it at 6:40 PM. You can stay for the game if you wish or leave after we are done. We will ALL wear blue jeans. Students may choose to wear a solid orange, blue, or white t –shirt. Students MUST be in uniform in order to perform. After we sing, students may stay for the game or leave. Again, we are thankful for this opportunity. Parents, if you have questions, please email me. Thank you very much. Go Blaze!
