Marching Band News

Thank You, Band Fans Volunteers!

A huge shout-out to the crew of Band Fans volunteers and Mr. Shoemaker who made Homecoming and Middle School Night such a success! Many of the surrounding middle schools fall on the line between West and other high schools, so showing these students that West is Best is important for recruitment and keeping our band program thriving. Scroll down for pictures from the evening! (Photo credit: Jennifer Boles)

Speaking of volunteers, we could use a few more bus chaperones for the away game at RJ Reynolds on Friday. Looking ahead, we also need bus chaperones for the North Henderson Competition on 10/24. Please help us fill these gaps by signing up below!
