Let's have a little fun before school starts. Bluffton High School's summer band camp is now behind us, but the photos live on.
Thanks to Rachael Lewis, The Icon can share lots of band camp memories with Icon viewers - including BHS band alumni who know the drill and who have been there.
We provide three sets of photos for your enjoyment.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
And while on the subject, here's another plug for band alums to join in the alumni band fun happening on a football field near you soon:
NOTE: The video is at the bottom of this story.
The Bluffton Icon presents a never-before-seen video interview with the late Phyllis Diller. Dr. Jack (Tony) Travis, Bluffton native, BHS graduate, and friend of Ms. Diller forwarded this video to The Icon.
This shows two sides of Phyllis: a serious side, as she discusses the benefits of breastfeeding; and, then in the last 30 seconds, Phyllis lays on a joke and provides us with her famous "laugh."
