“Approaching from the sidelines is the Bluffton High School alumni marching band!”
Listen for that announcement at Friday’s Harmon Field football pre-game. Then sit back and listen to living musical ghosts of Pirate bands going all the way back to the Jo Souder-era of the early 1960s.
Racheal Lewis, Bluffton schools strings teacher, first invited BHS band alumni to perform as a marching band in 2013. The band, consisting of anyone who once wore a BHS band uniform, performs in a pre-game every other year.
Bluffton author Ruth Naylor says that her original intent for writing her memoir was to share her personal faith stories with family and friends.
However, at a Christian writers’ conference she was urged to expand the potential audience.
To do that she provided questions at the end of each chapter, helping readers think about their own experiences and share their stories informally with others or in small groups.
She aims to achieve that in “Faith Talk: a spiritual memoir inviting reflection and dialogue,” published by WestBow Press.
