Fox River Invitational Results

Posted on Sep 27, 2016

A big thank you to all of the cadets, parents, family members, volunteers and participating schools that helped make Sunday an incredibly successful event for the Waukesha West Marching Band.  The event would not have been so successful without your help.  And there would probably have been even more people soaked from the thunderstorm.

Here are Sunday Placements from the Fox River Invitational:

Last Chance for Spirit Wear!

Posted on Sep 16, 2016

The West Band Boosters are offering one more chance for parents, students and friends of the program to order spirit wear. All orders will be delivered to the school and given out after rehearsal on October 12th, just in time for the state marching band competition!  This is the last time this season spirit wear will be offered, so don’t miss this chance to support all the band students at West with a purchase.  Spirit wear makes great holiday gifts, so if you’d like to get a little shopping done early and have your order delivered privately, please email Kelly Crawford at kellycrawford4@gmai.com and she will make arrangements with you.  

Orders can be made here now through September 25th.  Order early, order often!!
