Flamingo Friday Fun!
Thank you to all our donors, volunteers, attendees, raffle ticket purchasers and silent auction bidders who helped the Waukesha West Band Boosters put together another successful Flamingo Friday fundraiser. It was a fantastic night and a fun way to support our great band program and students. We hope to see your flock at the Delafield Brewhaus next year!
February 22nd – Save the date and join our flock!
The days are shorter, the nights are longer and everything is colder, which means winter has taken over! What better way to beat the winter blahs than to have something fun to look forward to? 2019’s Flamingo Friday will be held at the Delafield Brewhouse on February 22nd. As usual we’ll be treated to appetizers, dinner, raffles, a silent auction and music by our own Jazz 1 students! It’s a great way to enjoy time a fun night out while supporting our band program. Check out our Save the Date 2019 flyer for more details!

Get a Head Start on the Holidays!
The start of November means the holidays will be here before we know it and Waukesha West Bands has several ways to help you get started on your shopping! Participating in our Cherrydale fundraiser, which has order forms and brochures students can pick up in the band room, and the poinsettia sale (see links below) will help students supplement their invidual band accounts, adding funds they can use to pay band fees or to make trip payments. And participating in our ornament/travel mug fundraiser will raise funds that will be added to our general band account, which helps us purchase music, instruments, marching band uniforms and everything else needed to run our program.
Remember, all of our fundraisers are completely optional and while you’re encouraged to participate, you are never required to do so. If interested, click on the links below for our poinsettia and ornament/mug order forms and let your holiday shopping begin!
