Woburn TONIGHT and Eleanor Rigby

Under a threatening sky of rain, the Burlington High School Red Devils football team will be at it again tonight facing the Woburn football team in Woburn.  Game time is 7:00 pm, and don't forget to bring your rain gear, just in case!


Speaking of football games, did you hear about last week's game and the Burlington High School Marching Band's decision to team up with the opposing team's band and play "Eleanor Rigby" as a combined group?  The story has received a lot of buzz this week, on the "Burlington Patch", various blogs, and Facebook.  The story goes that during the halftime show at Burlington's Varsity field, both bands played the same arrangement of "Eleanor Rigby".  After Belmont lost, the Burlington band went over to the visitor side, and the drum majors decided to have their bands play the same song together.  What transpired next was a great demonstration of passion for music, erasing all lines of "your school" versus "my school".  Congratulations to all of the members of the Burlington High School Marching Band for showing Belmont a warm welcome!  You are to be commended!

Check out the video, thanks to Shirley Fong for allowing us to re-post here.  If you want to see what else the Burlington High School Band has up their sleeves, watch the halftime show at tonight's Woburn game!  Hope to see you there!
