The Burke Drill team was on FIRE while performing for alumni at the annual Alumni Homecoming Tailgate!
Lots of alumni gathered to watch Burke beat Benson 17-14! Every homecoming game the Alumni Assn offers a free tailgate and game admission to graduates. Here, Frank Kessler (1986) with daughter Shelby (2018) and Dusty Keever (2018) proudly show off their school spirit!
