Old Bradford H.S. Alumni choir, band and orchestra students
In the movie, "Mr. Holland's Opus", a student who squeeked and squawked her way through trying to play her instrument, got through it with Mr. Holland's persistance,guidance, patience, love and teaching. He let her know that she could succeed. She later became Governor and at Mr. Holland's retirement said,"Look around you. There is not a life in this room that you have not touched, and each one of us is a better person because of you. We are your symphony, Mr. Holland. We are the melodies and the notes of your opus. And we are the music of your life." Mr. Houghton, the Kenosha music students of the past, present and future, are Your Symphony, we are Your Opus and we love you for all you have done for music in Kenosha and in our hearts.
