BHS alumni invited to play at Gray’s final concert

The Blaine school district is looking for alumni to play at band director Bob Gray’s final Blaine High School band concert to celebrate his retirement.

The concert is 7 p.m. Tuesday, May 2 in either the Blaine High School Performing Arts Center or gymnasium, depending on expected attendance. Gray is retiring this year after 42 years of teaching and this will be his last concert.

All students who have studied an instrument under Gray are invited to play in the alumni performance. During the concert, alumni will be seated in the audience and called to the stage when it is time to perform. Before the concert, there will be a rehearsal at 4:30 p.m. followed by a social reception with food at 5:30 p.m. 

Gray selected three songs that will be easy for alumni to play, regardless if they no longer practice. Alumni are encouraged to RSVP and start practicing, as the sheet music is available.
