Theater
School Song
Cheer, cheer for our blue and white,
We play the game with all of our might.
Buena colts will never say die,
Just shake down the thunder from the sky.
Whether we win, or whether we lose,
Buena High Colts will not have the blues.
While our loyal fighting team goes marching to victory‐‐marching to victory!!!
