The High School/JH spring concert was a flurry of entertainment and good music. The evening kicked off with Marcus and the Minions performing "Impertinence".

The Girl's Choir Ensemble then sang "Hope Is a Hidden Star".
Next in the lineup of music was the JH Band performing "Tijuana Trumpets", "Armed Forces March", and "Drive". Senior choir member Mercy Brost then sang her vocal solo, "No Ruby".
BHS Jazz livened up the concert with their performance of "Alright, Okay, You Win!" (soloists Archer Edwards and Sophie Irish), "Orinoco Cocoa" (soloists Zach Jones and Alex Edwards), and "Vaudeville Bounce".
Then, Senior choir member Michaley Knapp entertained with her vocal solo, "To the Sky".
The sax quartet RATZ took the stage playing "Irish Suite" followed by the High School Choir with the songs "Who Has Seen the Wind", "Riversong", and "Storm".

Wrapping up the evening was the honoring of the senior music students. Mrs. Lynch spoke about each student and their contribution to the music program over the years as well as presenting them each with a pair of socks that "matched their personality". She then presented each of the seniors with a music award. Mercy Brost: "Payday" Award; Lyza McMullan: Outstanding Choir Award; Michaley Knapp: Director's Award (choir); Sophie Irish: Cale Emmons Distinguished Award for Music; Alex Edwards: Director's Award (band); and Marcus Mader: John Phillip Sousa Award for Band.
