Bobcats in Paris

In December of 2000 the BGHS Bobcat Marching Band traveled to Paris, France to march in the 2001 New Year's Day parade. Photos were sent home on a daily (or should I say nightly) basis and posted on the web site for the enjoyment of family members, relatives and friends here at home.
