The funds raised at this year’s Tricky Tray are earmarked to help the music department with much-needed equipment and instrument replacement, including the choir risers, which are “around 30 years old,” confirms Ms. Michelle DiGaetano, BHS choir director. Mr. Brendan Hughes, BHS band director, adds that he hopes to be able to “purchase new instruments for next year,” as well.
