What a Friday for the Big Green Marching Machine! 💚🇬🇧
Representatives from the London New Year’s Day Parade traveled to Longview to formally present our students with their invitation to march through the streets of London on New Year’s Day 2028.
We were honored to welcome Bob Bone, Founder and Chair of the London New Year’s Day Parade; Duncan Sandys, great-grandson of Sir Winston Churchill and former Lord Mayor of Westminster; Dean Oblonsky, Senior American Consultant; and Bill Northen and Jonathan Whaley, Senior Directors of International Participation.
And what better night to welcome London to Longview than Homecoming at Lobo Stadium! Our guests joined us under the Friday night lights and got to experience the Big Green Marching Machine right here at home!
Friday, London came to Longview. 🇬🇧💚
In 2028, Longview goes to London!

This Friday, we're asking for $1 and 37 seconds of your time. 💵⏱️
That’s it. ONE. SINGLE. DOLLAR. 😂
We timed it. From clicking the link, selecting $1, setting Zeffy’s optional contribution to $0, and submitting... 37 seconds. 😂 You probably spent longer than that watching our kids ask you for it!
So click the link, give us a buck, and then share this so we can see just how far a whole bunch of $1s can take these kids! 🇬🇧💚
$1. 37 seconds. That’s all we’re asking! & when you're done, tell me how long it took!

💙 September is Deaf Awareness Month, and with permission from Mom, we’re proud to spotlight senior percussionist Jacob!
Jacob has been in band for seven years, from 6th grade through his senior year. He is deaf and communicates through both sign language and speech.
💚 Favorite part of band: Making friends
💬 His advice: “It’s hard, but if you keep working at it, you will get better and better.”
We’re proud to have Jacob marching in the block with the BGMM! 💚🥁
