Calling all former Screamin Demons. We’re getting the band back together again! This Thursday Bismarck High is playing West Fargo and we are inviting all band alumni and parents/family to play or sit in with the band. It’s time to dust off that horn, tighten that drum and get ready to pump a sweet jam with the Screamin Demons. This epic event will take place at the Bismarck Community Bowl at 6pm. We will gather at the northeast corner of the Bowl. We would love to have as many Alumni and family members play with us as possible. Even if you haven’t played a note in years, we’d love to have you with us. If you are a parent, but not necessarily a former Demon you are welcome to play with us. Siblings are welcome too! If you don’t want to play but want to sit with the band we’ll save you a seat. If you would like to print a pep band folder, you can download one from The Bismarck High School website. You can always share music with a student as well. Shoot us with an email if you have any questions and to let us know if you can be there. Spread the word and share this with any alumni you know, and We can’t wait to see you there bedecked in Demon gear.

Go Demons!

BHS has a Little Free Library in front of our building on 7^th Street! The main purpose is to encourage BHS students to read, but because a LFL is a “take a book, leave a book” philosophy, you might find literature from all genres and levels. Feel free to grab a good read for yourself and exchange it with one you think students might find interesting.

And the beautiful box was decorated by our very own, Paul Noot (BHS Art teacher).
