Attention new band parents & students - Follow the WV Bands program online
To help you follow the activities of the band and color guard programs, we have set up several online sites - choose what ever works for you (or several options if you wish)!
We have a special text message alert system. This is used only for urgent band-related announcements.
About the Online Access
All of these are run by parent volunteers/Bandboosters and not by the school district. No District resources are used in the creation or use of these online services for the band program.
Web site content, Facebook updates, text messages, and so on, are from Bandboosters, Bandboosters officers, Mr. Loucks or sometimes Mr. Bosch (Centennial MS).
The online services are set up and run by Edward Mitchell, a past band parent (3 kids now off in college or beyond). You can reach him at edward "at" coldstreams.com.

We have a special text message alert system. This is used only for urgent band-related announcements.
- To get added to this list, you must send a text message FROM your cell phone TO wv "at" coldstreams.com (replace the "at" with @).
- You are responsible for any text message charges you have on your phone. We keep the number of announcements on this list to a small number.
- Your phone will not be added to this list until it has been reviewed by a person (which means updates to the list are not instant).
- To be removed from the WVBands student text message list, reply to any message you receive and you will (eventually) be removed.
- All requests to be added or removed are reviewed by a person which means it can sometimes take a few days.
