WOW!  What a great evening of music and friendships!  I was so excited to hear all of our groups last night as well as see and connect with so many parents, alumni and community members.  Students - way to step up after missing so many days due to weather.  Your musicianship and dedication were on full display.  Parents - You were fantastic.  So many of you helped in various capacities, and every deed, great or small added to the positive atmosphere of the evening.  The greatness of the West Pride Bands is a direct reflection of dedicated students AND PARENTS.  THANK YOU!
