There’s no place like home……THIS YEAR’S MUSICAL IS THE WIZARD OF OZ.  Audition sign-ups are posted on the auditorium doors.  Tryouts are Wed - Fri, Jan. 24-26.  Students should prepare a one to two minute monologue and a short piece of memorized vocal music.  The musical will run Thursday, May 3 through Saturday, May 5.  Contact Mr. Swenson for more information.

 

Congratulations!!!  The Boise High Chamber Orchestra, led by Orchestra Director Wendy Hartman, has been invited to this year’s American String Teachers’ Association National Orchestra Festival. The Festival, scheduled for March 8-10 in Detroit , is widely considered to be the “Superbowl” of national high school orchestras. On Friday, February 2 at 7:30 pm, a benefit concert will be held in the Boise High auditorium to raise funds to help pay for the trip.  Boise High’s own Mr. Matt Swenson will be featured as a tenor soloist in addition to BSU’s Dr. Nicole Murphy on flute and Angela Hartman, BSU senior, on clarinet.  The Chamber Orchestra will give a preview performance of their music.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students and seniors and may be purchased at the door or in advance through the ASB Office, 854-4270, ext. 103.   

 

V is for Victory but what is VV??  VALLEY VISIONS, of course.  It’s the district’s literary arts magazine.  Please submit two pieces of writing or art by Friday, Jan. 26.  That’s the first week of second semester.  For applications, see your English or Art teacher today!!  Maybe you’ll be victorious and have your work published!

Wrestling Update: Boise High lost to Capital 59 to15, but our kids wrestled the best I have seen in two years. George Gundlach, Ray Ayres and David Nathan won their matches.  David and George are both ranked in the state and Ray beat a wrestler that was ranked so Ray should be ranked next week when the new ranking comes out.  On the JV team, Tyler Lobb, Ryan Ayres, Danny Oldham, Evan Scigliano, and Hugh Thorton won their matches. Tuesday, Jan. 23, will be our Senior Night. We wrestle at 7:30 pm in the old gym so come support your braves as they take on Bishop Kelly!  -Coach Murray

 

Sophomore Boys Basketball: The Braves lost two tough games over the weekend, dropping our record to 2- 10 overall, 1-9 in conference games. Against Caldwell on Friday night, Zack Fox led all scorers with 18 points, with Tyler McFarland and Max Chambers chipping in 10 and 9 points respectively. On Saturday night against Mt. View , Gregg Simonds had 13 points on 3 of 5 shooting from the 3 pt line, and Tyler McFarland added 8 points in the contest. The upcoming schedule has us @ home on Friday vs. Borah and next week @ Eagle and at home vs. Capital. We hope to see you all there cheering on the Braves!  -Coach Lange
