Vimeo and Flickr.
A special thank you to all who contributed: making the video, chaperones who braved the elements, and the numerous families who donated water! Your support of the program is greatly appreciated.

perform on the 28th.The first playoff game for BHS has been moved from 10/27 to 10/28.
