For the 2021/22 School Year, we were not able to make the London trip come together due to travel restrictions, fundraising restrictions. Stay tuned for more information on future trips.
Shawnee Mission West has been fortunate to be chosen many times over the past decades to perform in the London, England New Years Day Parade! Typically, we will go once every three years. This is some general information about the trip and requirements on the London 2021 page!

Fundraising
Each year the band conducts several fundraisers; the two years prior to the London trip, a portion of the money raised is credited to the Band Student’s account. You can check in Charms to see their balance, or catch one of the London treasurers at a BandAides West meeting.
