Parents - you are welcome to watch your band practice at WV

For all band parents, and especially new band parents - you are welcome to watch the band rehearse its fall show on the field at WV during their regular rehearsals. 

They often do a run-through of the whole show near the end of the rehearsal period. Come and sit in the stands and enjoy the show and support your kids!

Their first "real" performance of their fall show will be at the football game held at WV on Friday, September 5th.  Come on out and support your band!

The band will continue to revise the show and introduce new elements throughout the fall show season. So be sure to come back and watch again - they will surprise you!
