ALUMNI BAND
We need your help! On Friday, October 17, the West Valley High School Marching Band will be in Yakima preparing to compete in the 2008 Harvest Festival of Bands. The "Eagle" football team has a home game that evening. Since we won't be at the game, I would like to invite all past Band members (young and not so young) to join the Centennial Middle School Band in performing at this game. You will play some of the classic pep band tunes that you played while at WVHS and it should be a lot of fun! Here's the schedule:

6:00 PM - Rehearse in the new Band Room (north entrance on Vista)
6:30 PM - Set up in the stands (north end of stadium)
6:50 PM - Play pre-game music
9:15 PM - Game ends

Here's what I need ... send me an email (jim.loucks "at" wvsd.com) so I know that you'll be here and what instrument you'll play. Subject line in your email: ALUMNI BAND. I'll email more information prior to the 17th. Please let everyone know about the Alumni Band performance and have them email me. Thanks.

We'll plan another performance at one of the basketball games this winter and make this an annual event. And, maybe we'll begin a "Second Time Around" Marching Band for all of you still having withdrawal pains. Should be interesting!!!

So, get out those horns and get the chops in shape. Take care.
