EWMEA CONCERT BAND FESTIVAL

The Wind Ensemble will not be participating in the EWMEA Concert Band Festival on Wednesday, March 24. We will be competing in Pasco on Friday, April 9. More information to follow. Thank you.

Jim Loucks, Band Director

WV Band students expect to arrive back from Yakima about 11:30 pm on Saturday.

The WV Girls basketball team took 3rd place in the State Basketball tournament.

Mr Loucks says he is real proud of the band kids for the wonderful job they have done - they've been great.

WV Superintendent Polly Crowley said about the band "You guys are just amazing" as they provided great entertainment for the crowds.

Director's Notes Feature
Due to technology changes at Google's Blogger/Blogspot service, Blogger will no longer be able to support the Director's Notes feature on this web site, the CMS Band web site and the Beginning Bands web site.

Blogger plans to discontinue the features we use for the Notes feature as of May 1st. I am looking into alternative solutions. Their changes do not effect any other part of this web site, fortunately.

Band Videos
In the left column of this page are links to the 2007 and 2008 marching band videos, including other high school performances at Pasco, Everett, Auburn and Yakima, plus various other videos including past parades and performances from many past years. Those videos are hosted on the Veoh.com video service. Unfortunately, Veoh.com is going out of business.

Most of those videos will be re-uploaded to Facebook's video service which allows for longer videos than does YouTube (limit 10 minutes max). Due to the huge quantity and large size of the video files, these updates will occur over a few months.

All of the Facebook videos will be "public"; however, you can also join Facebook and get the videos and all updates to the wvbands.org web site in your daily Facebook update.

West Valley Band's Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/wvhs.bands

Please join us on Wednesday (March 11) at 4 pm and again at 7:30 pm as the West Valley boys and girls play in the State Basketball Championships in Yakima. The WV Theater will be open to all, as we view both games broadcast over our network by Bob Sanborn who will be live from Yakima.

Students - Mr Loucks prepared a list of things you need to bring on the trip to the state basketball championship games ... :-)
