BHS Band Watches Eclipse
Before the school year started, the Branford High School (BHS) band was hard at work during a week of band camp that lasted from Aug. 16 to 22. Band members were learning the songs “Crazy Train,” “Conga,” “Can’t Hold Us,” and “Hail to the Varsity,” which they will perform in their 2017 field show at home football games and a Saturday, Sept. 23 competition at Sheehan High School in Wallingford.
The students took a break from their music and marching to don eclipse glasses and watch the recent solar eclipse. Huntington Branch Library in Shelton and the New Haven Free Public Library donated the glasses so the band could safely experience this special event.
