The Bicentennial Club was a club formed at Bishop Alemany High School in Mission Hills (Los Angeles County, CA) in 1976 for America's Bicentennial celebration. The club was notorious for sponsoring unusual events with a kitsch patriotic twist. The club has served as a mentor for other unusual clubs in its wake. The legacy of the Bicentennial Club includes a kazoo marching band, arm wrestling competitions with weight categories, paddleball competitions and square dances at lunch.
