Congrats Senior Class and Welcome to New Band/Color Guard Students
Congratulations graduating seniors of 2008 - you will be missed!

Welcome new Freshmen and Band Parents
Welcome new Freshmen members of the band and color guard. The band's web site is wvbands.org.
Your help and involvement in Band Boosters in any way you can is greatly appreciated. To learn more about Band Boosters, please visit this web page:

Students and parents - please add yourself to the WVHS Band Boosters email list by visiting wvbands.org and click on the link at the top of the page. All requests must be approved before adding and we only check the requests every week or so. This is a very low volume email announcements list with maybe a dozen or so emails during the past school year. (Parents and students already on the list in 2007-2008 are still on the list and do not need to re-add their email.)
New this year - a separate email distribution list is being set up for announcements and reminders directly to students from the band director. Students will learn more about this very soon!

Required System: Photo and Video DVD
This is a data DVD and is intended for viewing on Windows and Mac OS X computers that have a DVD-compatible disc drive. This disc can not be read on CD drives.
A few TV DVD players enable viewing of still photos on your TV but this feature might not work for this DVD data disc and is not recommended.
All video clips are viewable in Windows Media Player and Quicktime Player on Mac OS X (requires the free Flip4Mac Windows Media components available for download from Microsoft - see http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx). The videos should be playable on about 1.5 Ghz and faster processors (plus or minus depending on system configurations and DVD drive speed).
Videos are in 960 x 540 (enhanced digital TV) or 1920 x 1080 (HDTV format) and will play on your computer and probably an XBox 360 too.
Color Guard
The color guard auxiliary unit needs additional students - if someone you know might be interested please contact Jim Loucks, Director of Bands (jim.loucks@wvsd.com) or call Lori Alsperger, Color Guard instructor at 927-8582.
Fall Show Band
If you know of any student who may wish to sign up for band and appear in the Fall Show, have them contact Jim Loucks (jim.loucks@wvsd.com) IMMEDIATELY. The Fall Show is being written right now and students need to be signed up and make a commitment right away to appear in the Fall Show.
