The annual "concert on the lawn," which has been held inside for 2 years due to rainy weather, is a significant ending to Brandon's tenure at Blue Valley North High School. It is through the band that he gained valued leadership and relationship skills, as well as developing his musical ear. The fellow band geeks gave him some much needed perspective on being involved in extracurricular activities. Furthermore, he met his FIRST girlfriend from the band and learned the fine art of communicating with a female and juggling his/her emotions. Their 2-month relationship taught them both many lessons which they can use in future dating.
They have ended their relationship as they recognize their summer schedules are vastly different and they are headed in different directions for college pursuits.

BVN seniors play their LAST song!!!!!!!!!!!! I cried all the way through this piece--Gabriel's Oboe-- and could hardly steady the camera! Brad had to take a VERY unruly Jessie home and missed the show!
