Thank you students for your continued work in rehearsals. We are excited to showcase your hard work at our first football game on September 9! A huge thank you as well to all who volunteered to help with the mattress sale today – it has gone very well!
September 1 Rehearsal – Band Picture At 6:00 pm on Thursday, all students need to report to the band room wearing your under-uniform attire – black shorts and shirts. If you ordered a shirt they should be in and distributed that day. We will walk through proper uniform procedures so that you are prepared for our game the following week. At 6:30 PM everyone should be in full uniform and in the bleachers at the stadium for our full picture. We will return to the band room to take off uniforms and then back to the stadium for rehearsal. London Tour Update Our registration deadline is also this coming Thursday, September 1. Details available at the London New Year’s Day Parade page. September 9 – Home Football vs BVN Our first home football game performance! Students who purchased a pre-game meal plan can eat beginning at 4:30 PM. All students need to be dressed and ready to perform by 5:30 PM. Our full schedule can be found HERE. The band parades from the BVW PAC out the side commons doors and holds a mini-pep rally at the before leading the team and cheerleaders to the stadium. They perform Pre-Game and then portions of our competition show at halftime. It is a lot to learn and a lot of fun to watch! Parents are ALWAYS welcome to come watch and join in what is a terrific West Family Event on Football Fridays! September 15 Rehearsal & Performing Arts Showcase As part of our rehearsal that evening, we will be combining to perform with our fellow Performing Arts Department members – choir, debate, and orchestra!
