This Week at BMHS: October 31 - November 6, 2016

What Makes Friday Nights Special


When the community gathers at the Marshall Middle School on Friday nights to watch our Indians perform, we have grown accustomed to our students' "compete" level. Each week before they enter the Robert J. Calabrese Stadium they have put in countless hours in preparation to ensure we fans, regardless of the outcome of the game, have an evening to remember. For the visiting fans it is a unique experience. They enter to watch a high school football game and leave envious of the experience. While it may have been the football game that drew them in, they also get to experience two of our premier programs - Cheerleading and Band. Our Cheerleaders have captured the Division 1 State Title 3 times in the last 5 years and our Marching Band just earned back-to-back Division 2 New England Scholastic Band Association (NESBA) Championships. Aside from the overall title, they also earned Best Color Guard and Best Percussion titles. We are truly blessed to have such hardworking students and staff to support them.

Division II NESBA Champions
