Bear River Bear Blues

First off, thanks to everyone who came to the reunion last night! It was wonderful to see everybody and I hope everyone had a great time. I sure did!

I thought I'd copy the lyrics to the song Austin wrote for our class. It was hilarious, and they did an incredible concert!

Bear River Bear Blues

If you're pickin' out a high school, go the the Bear River Bears
If you're pickin' out a high school, go the the Bear River Bears
Don't want to go to Box Elder, cause their mascot's an insect over there.

When you walk through the doorway eating breadsticks and pie dump rolls in the hall
Man you get excited cause you've left your middle school once and for all
You're the last freshman class at Bear River and oh how you're gonna have a ball

Ooooh, sit down at the school desk and listen with open ears
Dr. Jones throws books at people, but other than that you're gonna be bored to tears
It's that kind of stellar education that only your parents revere

Going out to stomps swain, dancing to songs at the Natatorium
Vice principal Gordon trying to catch smokers, she's nuts and she's on here own (she's got a video camera though)
We maintain nostalgia we feel from the bomb scare sophomore year, oh we weren't along

Mr. Munns announcing football plays, freshman year we took 2nd in state
We had a great theme song that made all of us relate

To that primal rockin' feelin that only AC/DC could create

(Both play beginning section of Thunderstuck)

If you try out for a play, don't expect the lead
Somebody has already got it, his name is Chad Huckabee

Don't expect a different royalty at the homecoming game
You've had Shelby and Lindsay for 4 years straight


If you're pickin' out a high school, go the the Bear River Bears
If you're pickin' out a high school, go the the Bear River Bears
Don't want to go to Box Elder, cause their mascot's an insect over there.

Oooh you've got to forget about Sky View, forget about the Bees. We've got the school that will bring them to their knees. No, no Mountain Crest, no, no Logan High, the Grizzlies ain't the kind of bears that'll really make it jive.

If you're hungry for some action and want to wear the red and white. Forget where you've been and you can bring on the fight. It was out year that they changed the BR to 98 at graduation

If you're pickin' out a high school,

If you're pickin' out a high school,

If you're pickin' out a high school, go the the Bear River Bears!
