Learning, experimenting, and having a little fun along the way! 🍏🔬

On Saturday, Mr. Bossenberger took some of the Birch Run Marching Band members to participate in SVSU Band Day! The students worked together with the collegiate band and students from 20 other band programs to put together a half time show in ONE rehearsal!
The students were led by Birch Run Band Alumni, Cierra Nowicki and Allyson Miller, who are now Marching Cardinals! The experiences the students at Birch Run have while in high school make connections for them going forward in their life & we are proud to see Birch Run alumni taking what they learned here and applying it after high school! 💙💛
