Last Saturday, November 5th, the band traveled to Detroit where they finished 7th in their division. Mr. Borst and Mr. Shaw, along with many parents who followed the band to Ford Field, agree that it was their best performance of the season!
The band finished with a score of 76.86, their season-best.
Trunk -or- Treat is right around the corner!
The Second Annual High School Band Trunk -or- Treat will be held on Monday, October 31st. We have learned over the years, that nothing makes Band kids happier than giving them some candy! (Just ask any Uniform Committee person.) Trunk or Treat also takes a little sting out of the fact that students have Monday night rehearsal on Trick-or-Treat night. 
Parents should arrive in the west High School bus parking lot at 8:30 pm. Students will walk out to the parking lot at 9:00, following their Monday night rehearsal. Please bring enough candy for 120 people. That will include enough for the directors and any instructors that might need a little chocolate therapy. If you can’t attend, please send in your candy to the HS Band room, and someone will be happy to pass it out for you.
Last year’s event was a huge success, so to make it even more fun, we are adding a Vehicle Decorating Contest! So get out there and buy some candy and decorate those trunks!

This is just a reminder that our Monday rehearsal will go from 5th hour until 4:30pm today.
