I must wait for the sun rise
I must think for the new life
And I mustn't give in....."
Congratulations to all who are named and to all who participated!
Kudos to all! I must say that every year that I attend the BHS products, they just keep getting better and better! Hats off to ALL involved!
I have not seen any of these productions, but I offer my congratulations to all involved. These shows are hard work, but they are a lot of fun and great team building exercises. I can barely remember specific educational experiences from my high school days many, many years ago, but I can still sing every lyric from "South Pacific," which we put on in our Senior year. Maybe I'll go to the revival on Broadway and pitch in. (Hope you aren't sitting near me!)
