Spirit Wear Top 7 List

Posted on Aug 16, 2018

TOP 7 REASONS TO ORDER SPIRIT WEAR TO SUPPORT WAUKESHA WEST BANDS

7. T-shirts, tanks and shorts…because September can still be hot and you need to keep cool while looking cool!

6. Jackets, hoodies and sweats…because we are in Wisconsin and one week after you’re sweating, you’ll probably be shivering.

5. Blankets and headbands…because by holiday parade time, you’ll definitely be shivering.

4. Stadium chairs…because whether the bleachers are too hot or too cold, you’ll feel just right sitting in one.

3. Duffels and cinch bags…because they’re perfect for carrying necessities to marching band competitions (or anywhere for that matter!)

2. There are two logos to choose from (Cadets or Waukesha West Bands)…because these aren’t just for marching band families!

1. There’s only one week to order if you want to get your items by September 7th, so click on this link and get in the spirit today!

Parent Meeting on August 22nd

Posted on Aug 2, 2018

All band parents are asked to attend our Parent Meeting in the auditorium on Wednesday, August 22nd. Starting at 7:00 we’ll have sign-ups outside the auditorium available so you can choose where you’ll be able to help out this year – everything from chaperoning band buses to serving burgers at the Homecoming Dinner to helping decorate the Delafield Brewhaus for our Flamingo Friday fundraiser. Then at 7:30 we’ll transition to our meeting in the auditorium where you’ll learn more about our plans for the year, including our spring trip and getting new uniforms for next season!  We look forward to seeing you all there!
