Back in the day, in the year 1998, students at Bothell High practiced one of the same traditions that we still do today: tailgates.

Before heading down to the Pop, students would meet up and drive down in their decorated cars ready to cheer on their team. This festivity soon came to be known as the blue train.

The blue train then became a cheer in 2001 and as Mrs. Tarilyn Greenfield describes, “My sister was a cheerleader at BHS and at cheer camp they needed to make up a cheer for something and they started using blue train.”

This blue train has continued to be in our cheers and has become one of our images. Kaitlyn Shelver (‘19), a current cheerleader advised that, “Students can hop aboard the blue train as long as they believe.”

Mr. Andrew Gault said, “We are all on the same track and regardless of which car you are riding in, all of us have an investment to keep this train going.”

So hop aboard BHS and participate in the best train ride ever because you can’t stop the blue train!
