Videos, catching up on the back log...and the Saints!

I've got a fair amount of photos and video content to post over the weekend. The last two weeks have been a blur. (Story of this past school year, really since things were cranked to "wide open" last summer across our area.)

**ADDED on Saturday afternoon...click on the following link to redirect to the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website, where you can watch the full high school graduation ceremony: https://bit.ly/3GRxNWf.

B-B-E's elementary physical education teacher, Austin Rambow, worked with the high school track and field team to host a field day event for students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade. The field days were held on Thursday and Friday, May 19-20 at the high school football stadium. I had the extreme good fortune to spend about an hour there on Friday that week with the fourth and fifth grade students. The comeraderie and support I saw between all students was something special to take in. They were all rooting and cheering for one another. You had to really be there to fully understand what I'm talking about.

Here's a video clip recorded on May 20 that features the fourth grade girls facing the fourth grade boys in a tug of war battle (short link): https://bit.ly/3Q4qUVU.

Fast forward from May 20 to May 30, and here's a video from Memorial Day that was recorded at the Brooten Pavilion (short link)...this video is posted at the Bonanza Valley Voice newspaper website: https://bit.ly/39clw22.

Here's a good portion of the song performed by the senior high choir tonight at graduation:


The video was recorded on a "point-and-shoot" camera and not with a tripod. My tripod with my video camera was set up on the stadium bleachers.

***Just got the box score and stats! Wow! Holy cow! The Elrosa Saints amateur baseball team won on the home diamond tonight while I was at graduation as they picked up a 3-2 win in 10 innings against neighboring rival Greenwald. Payton VanBeck started and pitched eight innings, and Ethan Vogt got the win as closer in the last two innings. Vogt also hit a solo home run in the fourth inning. Elrosa now hosts Regal in an exhibition game tomorrow night (Saturday) at 7:30 p.m.
