Burke's symphony concert is set for Thursday, December 3, 2026 at 7pm in Burke's auditorium. Orchestra students, select winds, and percussion students play in a setting and repertoire similar to what the Omaha Symphony does.
🎶 However, this concert is also open to any alumni or staff that wants to come play alongside!
Our concert will be a tribute to the late Dolly Parton.
We have several after school rehearsals that you can come in and hop in on. For consistency purposes, please attend at least the last two before the concert.
Below is the music planned, rehearsal schedule, and preferred instrumentation we are looking for. If there's an instrument you play that you don't see available, please email jestin.cam@ops.org and we can figure something out!

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Annual Alumni Homecoming Tailgate 2 weeks ago! We had an incredible turnout, and it was wonderful to reconnect with fellow Bulldogs before the big game.
One of the highlights of the evening was lining the field with alumni to welcome the team onto the field. What a special moment and a great show of Bulldog pride!
A special thank you to the Burke Band, Cheer Team, and Crescendawgz Choir for the fantastic performances created especially for our alumni. We are also grateful to our sponsors, Kyron O'Brien ('91) owner of Proof, and Linden Market Hy-Vee for their generous support.
Extra thanks go to Adam Lundgren ('95) for his hard work with event setup and teardown, helping make the evening such a success.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Ryan Six, Burke High School Class of 1999, on July 5, 2026, after a courageous battle with leiomyosarcoma, a rare and aggressive cancer.
Ryan was a wrestler at Burke, a graduate of UNK, and a talented glass artist whose passion for glass blowing led him to a successful career in Seattle and the San Francisco Bay Area.
Even throughout his cancer journey, Ryan participated in clinical trials to help advance medical research. In keeping with his lifelong spirit of giving, he donated his corneas to restore sight to two people and donated his body to the UCSF School of Medicine's Willed Body Program to support medical education and research.
Ryan's generosity will continue to make a difference long after his passing. What a beautiful gift. Please keep his family and friends in your thoughts as we remember a fellow Bulldog gone too soon.
🖤💛
Ryan and other passed Bulldogs are memorialized with a school picture at burkehighalumni.com/deceased-alumni/

Sadly, beloved Burke math teacher Cathy McIntosh has passed away. Mrs. McIntosh taught at Burke for 30 years from 1976-2006 and was a favorite among students! She was also the Hockey Club advisor for a time!
Her son reached out the the Alumni Association and told us "she loved Burke with all her heart." 🖤💛
A celebration of Cathy’s life will be held at the Forest Lawn Funeral Home this Wednesday, September 30 from 5-7pm, with a following memorial performed by members of Eastern Star. Our thoughts are with all that knew and loved Mrs. McIntosh.
