Holiday Activities Day

BHS Lip Dub is back and bumping

Even though students were unfamiliar with what a Lip Dub even was, the buzz eventually got started and around 200 staff and students participated in the last couple hours of the school day. A Lip Dub is basically a one shot music video with no editing. There are no cuts in the songs or action. Different people lip sync the music with people in the background dancing and cheering matching the theme of the song being played. All participants gather in on location at the end of the shot to do a giant celebration. The most interesting part is the fact that the school is silent except for the music over the PA system. Everything is either silently lip synced and all the cheering in the background is silent. It takes a lot of coordination by the student leaders. It only took around 3-4 attempts to get the best one. For this being the first lip dub since 2019, it went smoothly. This year the student leaders were Sophomore Bella Harvey-Cowen, Senior Cassidy O'Brien and Junior Payton Montgomery. Mr. Connolly, who is just coming off the successful fall play, is the adult director of the entire lip dub.
