From Mr. Thomas: Saturday:  KBA Marching Festival - STRANGE schedule.  Not my desire, but due to a packed performance schedule (28 bands), we must leave the campus at noon (fire marshal’s declaration), then if we are in finals, we will drive back.  Please eat breakfast prior to arrival in the morning.  You can eat lunch when we arrive back in KC.  Similarly, if we make it into finals, please eat before arrival back at West to return.  6:15a - Call time – come in T-shirt, shorts, socks, marching shoes etc.   Change into uniform, upon arrival at school. 6:45     Bus departs West 8:00     Bus arrives at Topeka Washburn University             Warm-up 9:30     Preliminary performance 9:50     Change into street clothes to watch other bands…

The band did so well at their car wash this year they beat the goal set by Mr. Thomas - so he held up his end of the deal and had his hair dyed pink! Mr. Hupe too! All of the photos, in full resolution without watermark are available on our Smugmug photo site; feel free to download, reuse, but do give credit to the photographer.
