Band UPDATe for 11/22 - 11/28

A short week before Thanksgiving Break! 

Congratulations to the 5 students selected as members of the State-wide Kansas John Philip Sousa Honor Band! This is a state level honor band for students in grades 6-9. The Blue Valley West area was well-represented with 14 students total from Lakewood, Pleasant Ridge, and West. Students will rehearse and perform at the Lied Center in January.

Lost and found - there are a number of jackets, water bottles, and other items in the Lost and Found baskets by the water fountain. Please claim them before the end of the day on Tuesday, November 23. Items left after that point will be disposed of or donated.

Band Room Clean-up: We could use a handful of volunteers on Monday, November 22 after school for about 1 hour to help move some equipment from the band room to storage areas now that marching season has concluded. No doubt there will be some sugary treats for any available to help!​

Concert Uniform: Also - make sure you have found items for your Concert Uniform as our first performance will be here quickly! Please see additional details regarding our upcoming concerts in December in the  December Concert Blog Post .
