“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.
Work on Jefferson Street this week moved across land once part of the Shannon Cemetery. The area where sidewalks are being removed borders and is close to potential unmarked graves of early settlers. In 1887 Jefferson Street was extended to Main Street and the street was routed and “cut thru” one corner of the cemetery making it necessary to move 19 graves. In that era, graves were often no deeper than two feet.
