Do You Remember Our Class Song?

You may or may not recall that our class song was Green Day's "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)". The song was not only featured on our Baccalaureate "video" reflection, but was also performed at graduation by then high school senior, Greg Carter.



Although most critics believed that Green Day was losing relevance post our 1999 graduation, the band reignited their career in 2004 with the "punk rock opera", American Idiot. The album went on to win several Grammy's in 2005 and 2006. It also snagged many Moon-Man at the 2005 MTV Awards. By 2007, the band had recorded a version of The Simpsons theme for The Simpsons Movie, as well as made an appearance in the movie. Thus proving the band still had a lot to say ten years later.
