WEST POINT CONCERT BAND – January
12, 2018
Bordentown Regional High School

The
concert performed by the West Point Concert Band this past Friday night was a
huge success. This concert was co-sponsored by the City of Bordentown and the BMI Alumni Association. The
Honorable Jim Lynch, Mayor of Bordentown City and member of BMI class of '74 and I had
the opportunity to talk to over 800 people about the significance of BMI and what we are doing
to keep the memory of our school alive. And a more personal note, it was a huge
pleasure to be in a room where over 800 people stood up and sang the National
Anthem and cheered afterward.
