We are SO PROUD of the West Pride Bands! Way to go. I saw so much leadership from so many people today – and I’m not just talking about drum majors and section leaders. It was so fun to see everyone working together, problem solving, and being part of the team. Upperclassmen – way to welcome the freshmen!
