Blue Valley West Bands
Attention Students & Parents!
Greetings Blue Valley West Band Students and Families,
While we know the past few months have been anything but normal, we are excited to share our plans for the Spirit of Blue Valley West Traditional Band and the Competitive Marching Band! Please review the provided information carefully, and as always, if you have any questions, please visit with Mr. Love.
Introductory Video: Normally we would hold an information session in conjunction with the West Area Band Festival, which of course was cancelled due to COVID this spring. This video answers many of the common questions related to marching band. Scroll down to view video.
Handouts: These provide a summary of the information in the video as well as a detailed schedule for camp. Over the summer we are working to enhance our BV West Band website where you will also be able to find these documents and additional information.
Handout#1: Marching Bands At Blue Valley West
Handout #2: REVISED Blue Valley West CMB Camp Schedule
Registration: For those interested in participating in the CMB, please fill out the following form NO LATER than Friday, June 26. If you are still trying to make a decision, please fill out the form too – there is a spot to indicate you would like additional information before finalizing your choice. CMB Interest Form
We are tremendously excited about what lies ahead for the Blue Valley West Bands, and despite these unique circumstances, we are honored to be guiding this outstanding band program.
Musically yours,

VOLUNTEER CREDIT SYSTEM
The volunteer credit system is designed to increase parent involvement, promote fairness and spread volunteer duties throughout the band program. The volunteer credit program will apply to all registered BVW Competitive Band, Color and/or Winter Guard students for the 2018-2019 band calendar. The credit program will apply to all events that the band program hosts or attends. This program works by establishing a specific numeric value for a specific volunteer duty or donation. Each family will have the opportunity to earn discounts off of their CMB or Winter Guard fees.
