Rivalries

[edit]

Box Elder High School has a rivalry with Bear River High School in nearby Garland. These schools, both located in the same school district, also overlap boundaries in the towns of Honeyville, and Bear River City, making the rivalry much more fierce among students from those towns. Competition and tensions often run to extreme levels in invitational games, meets, and matches.

Orchestra program

[edit]

The orchestra program at Box Elder High School is directed by John Findlay, who also teaches the class at nearby Box Elder Middle School and Adele C. Young Intermediate. The orchestra performs one concert each trimester, with the addition of the Box Elder School District Foundation concert,[9] where they combine with the orchestra from nearby Bear River High School and play with a guest conductor each February, with the purpose of building partnerships and relationships between schools and communities.[10] The Orchestra class consists of roughly 40–50 students. No tryout is needed to participate in the orchestra, although some experience is suggested.[11] The orchestra qualified for state in 2007 and 2014.[12]

Choral program

[edit]

Box Elder High School choirs have received Superior ratings at Region and State Festivals[citation needed] and have won awards at the State UMEA Convention, Division ACDA Convention, and the Heritage San Francisco Festival (2002).[citation needed] BEHS Madrigals perform throughout Northern Utah, and have received Superior ratings at state competitions.[citation needed] They were named "Outstanding Choral Group" and "Outstanding Choral Program" at Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada and the 1997 Houston, Texas Festival.[13]

The choral program is directed by Casey Sean Wood. The choir programs are Men's Chorus, Women's Chorus, Mixed Chorus, Arioso Choir, Concert Choir and Madrigals. Students must complete a tryout if they want to be in Arioso, Concert Choir or Madrigals.
