This past week our students have been working on the music for our 2008 Fall Marching Band Season ... what a great start! In my 16 years at WVHS, I have never had groups of students PRACTICING their music during lunch and even after school on an early-release day. Sometimes, I think we ALL need to get a life!

Our next rehearsal is MONDAY, JULY 7 and TUESDAY, JULY 8 (6:00 - 9:00 PM) in the WVHS Band Room. We will be working inside and outside so wear appropriate shoes (no sandals). The work we do now will make it so much easier once school begins in August. See you on the 7th and 8th!

Finally, if you did not pick up a CD recording of our music or a copy of your printed music, I will be at WVHS next week ... email me to let me know. Also, if you know anyone who's thinking about being a part of our great Band, they need to contact me immediately. Drill will be written very shortly!

Hey, guys, thanks for a very memorable 2007-2008 year! I really appreciate your hard work and commitment to a very high level of excellence. Let's keep raising the bar! (Practice your music now) Have a great summer.

Love ya!

Jim Loucks, Band Director
