Support the Cadets of Waukesha West this Fry-day night!

Posted on Apr 5, 2021

Still in spring break mode? Let Saz’s give you a break on April 9th! Their drive-thru fish fry is coming to Waukesha West from 4 – 7 and bringing their battered cod, baby back ribs, sour cream and chive fries, mac and cheese, mozzarella marinara, apple cobbler and their jumbo Milwaukee Pretzel Company pretzels with them! Order ahead at sazs.com/fishfry so you’re sure to get exactly what you’d like and then simply drive up, pick up and go. Extras of each item will be prepared and available for purchase by anyone who doesn’t order ahead, but supplies will be limited and offered on a first-come/first-served basis only.

All proceeds from this delicious fundraiser will help The Cadets of Waukesha West purchase sound equipment for the upcoming competitive marching band season.

Quilt Raffle

Posted on Dec 4, 2020

The West Bands program has been working hard to keep music-making alive this school year. This has meant finding new, creative ways to do what we do, including using bell covers so our musicians can perform safely indoors.

So what happens when you have leftover bell cover material and a super-crafty band mom? You end up with a beautiful quilt available to raffle off and to help raise money for our kids, which will allow you to snuggle up and support our program at the same time! 

Ten dollars will get you one entry into our Quarantine Quilt Raffle. The more you purchase, the better your chances of winning! Please turn in this form and money to the band room or to Kim Dutelle in the main office by Friday, December 18th. The winner will be announced LIVE on December 22nd at 11:30 am (details on where and how to come). All proceeds will directly support our students and our efforts to overcome every challenge that 2020 has thrown at us.

Chip in for the Bands Golf Outing

Posted on Sep 3, 2020

The cancellation of the Cadets’ season and this year’s homecoming activities mean we won’t be hosting the Fox River Invitational or our annual Homecoming Dinner picnic this fall, two of our biggest fundraisers of the year. So the Waukesha West Band Boosters are swinging into action and teeing up a new way to bring in some green in support of our bands. Please consider chipping in to help us raise the funds we need to keep our band program heading straight down the fairway! Sign up your group now and send in your registration form by September 24th!

Congratulations and Thank You, Seniors!

Posted on May 22, 2020

We may not be together in person to congratulate our band members for their excellent work this year and to recognize our seniors for their innumerable contributions to our program over the past four years, we decided to pay tribute to them in the form of this Waukesha West Bands 2020 Tribute. Thank you band students, parents, band boosters and board members, alumni, Waukesha West administration and staff and to everyone who has supported our program through volunteering, financial support, attending performance and otherwise showing your appreciation for the music we create together. Our stage may be empty for the time being, but our hearts are full of gratitude!
