Brandon Bitner Memorial Concert – November 2, 2012
Over two years ago, Brandon sent out a Facebook event invitation to his closest family and friends for a concert to be held on October 26, 2012 at Midd West High School. Many were confused by the invitation, but Brandon explained that he was planning a concert for his Senior Project. Brandon’s friend Hunter has decided to take on the concert after Brandon’s passing and the date is approaching! Tickets are now available for the event, being held on November 2, 2012 at the Midd-West High School Auditorium. See details below. All proceeds will be donated to the Brandon Bitner Memorial Scholarship at Susquehanna University.
Brandon is on tour with Madonna!
We finally have video confirmation that Brandon is indeed remembered during the “Nobody Knows Me” video interlude during Madonna’s MDNA World Tour! He’ll enjoy appearing during 80+ dates through December in Europe, North America and South America. The entire interlude is amazing and we cannot thank Madonna enough for bringing awareness to bullying, suicide and general social disease.
The first video shows Brandon at around the 1:15 mark, the second video show’s Brandon around 1:59 at a closer angle and in HD.
A Treasure is Lost, A Treasure is Found
FYI: this is Katie, Brandon’s cousin, writing this post.
If you have a moment, look through all of the photos here on www.brandonbitner.com. You will probably notice a common theme: Brandon’s beloved gothic cross necklace that he NEVER took off.
Throughout the past eight months, the location of that cross necklace remained a mystery. He never took it off, so his family assumed he wore it the night that he decided to leave us. Brandon’s mother Tammy and his sister Crystal spent hours upon hours in the passing months, desperately searching and hoping to find Brandon’s cross.
The gothic cross is a symbol of Brandon: his unique style, his love for music, and his love for all things different. My family members and our closest friends all searched for the same exact cross that Brandon wore during Christmastime… we thought it would be a great present for Tammy. Unfortunately, we never found it. To our surprise, we all received gothic cross necklaces from Tammy for Christmas which allow us to keep Brandon near our hearts every day.
Imagine my surprise when I logged on Facebook the other day and read this, posted by Brandon’s mother Tammy:
Crystal just made my night! She found Brandons cross!! I couldn’t stop crying. He put it in her bag that was his old gym bag. I have been wanting that for 8 months. I can’t tell you how emotional I am right now and how much I appreciate Crystal finding it. Thank you Crystal, I love you!!! Love and miss you Brandon!!
Just like Brandon, playing tricks and hiding things! I bet he knew Tammy would be searching high and low for that necklace. I thought it would be appropriate to share a photo of the treasure that Tammy finally has in her possession. It’s undoubtedly something she’ll never let go as it was such a major part of Brandon. We all love and miss you so much, Brandon!
