BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL CHEER SONG

Bloomington, we love thy name

We will bring thee greater fame

We're for you, yes, everyone

'Til the victory is won

Rah! Rah! Rah!

All for Bloomington, our cry,

All for B.H.S. or die.

Come stand as one and all your praises sing

For Bloomington the echoes ring.
