The BGHS Band, Choir, and Orchestra performed for their largest audiences of the year with students in grades 4-8 attending concerts today.
BGISD students may begin playing instruments and singing in choir as 4th graders. Attending the annual school-day concert gives the younger Purples a chance to see and hear opportunities in their near future!
More than 250 BGHS students participate in the Performing Arts.
Thanks to teachers and staff in all schools, and a special thanks to the Transportation Department for making this day possible!
Tonight’s performance is open to the public with $5 tickets sold at the door.

Great job, Purples!
The HVAC Certification courses are new this year and made possible through a partnership with SKYCTC. Upon completion of the program, BGHS students will earn 20 hours of dual credit, as well as the opportunity for OSHA 10, OSHA 30, and EPA 608 Universal Certifications.
This year, with six half-day sessions, contestants will tackle challenges related to their program and goals. We’re looking for creativity, flair, and show-stopping ideas.
Best of luck, bakers… uh… educators! We're all rooting for you!
