WVHS Facebook Fans Page

As you know, we have a WVBands Facebook page - which as of yesterday had 140 friends (and growing!)

We also have a Facebook "fans" page - you do not need to have a Facebook account to view the WVHS "Wall" containing band announcements.

Our Facebook Fans page is located here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/WVHS-Bands/280991375630
and has about 30 fans.

Unfortunately, Facebook introduced the Fans page feature after we'd set up our normal "Friends" page and while the announcements are the same on both pages, our photos and videos are only currently on the "Friends" page, for which you need a Facebook account and must be a friend of the band to see. I will look into - some time in the future - seeing if we can get our videos on to the Fans page. It is likely that our videos will need to be entirely on one or the other, but not both.

The WVBands Twitter Feed and MySpace pages are now working again

For those that use Twitter, you can follow our web site updates at http://twitter.com/wvbands. 15 people follow WVBands on Twitter.

While we only have 3 friends on Myspace.com/wvhsbands, I fixed that too so our Myspace page gets updates again.

All pending Facebook "Friend" requests were approved (I was supposed to get an email for each friend request but they stopped arriving and did not realize there were 17 friends waiting). We now have 132 followers on Facebook.

You can also follow WVBands,org updates through any of the following:
