We would like to invite you to join us this weekend for the tale of “Puffs, or Seven Increasingly Eventful Years at a Certain School of Magic and Magic,” a story of friendship, folly, and the unsung heroes who dwell just outside the spotlight.
Performances shall commence:
Saturday, April 17 at 2:00 in the afternoon and 7:00 in the evening
Sunday, April 18 at 2:00 in the afternoon
Gather your cloaks, ready your wands, and prepare for a show full of laughter and magic. Your presence is most eagerly awaited!
If you like a certain series about a certain wizard at magic school, you’ll love this one! (It follows the story of what happens at a certain magic school, and does have the boy with the scar on his forehead in it- however, the story is not about him, it’s about the Puffs, who just happened to be there too.)
Tickets are $7 for adults, $5 for students and senior citizens, and are available at the door of the Brookland Performing Arts Center.
Also here is a link to our KAIT story- it has some great footage of our rehearsal and interviews with some seniors on what theatre has meant to them.

The Brookland High School Band has been wearing their concert band hats for the past few months as the "Brookland Symphonic Winds". Yesterday, BSW travelled to Searcy Arkansas to compete in the Arkansas 5A Concert Band state championship and earned the BRONZE MEDAL for 2026. This is the second year in a row that they have earned this position. They were 1.1 points away from being Gold Medalist! They shattered their best ever by almost 3 percentage points.
Congratulation Brookland Symphonic Winds!

Students got an inside look at daily operations, career opportunities, and the skills needed in the transportation and logistics industry. Experiences like this help connect classroom learning to real-world careers.
