Happy Holidays!

Excellent performance tonight by the band in the Frosty & Friends Parade to help kick off Westmont's Holly Days Celebration.

Parade Details

Just a reminder to all band members that we will be meeting at the Westmont library at 4:15 in full uniform, instruments out tomorrow night, 11/28!

Also, we found out that the WHS mini-bus is out of action.  I will be at the high school at 3:15.  Any help you can give in getting our percussion and sousaphones to the library would be appreciated!

Great week for the WHS Bands!

This has been a busy, but wonderful week for the bands.  Wonderful rehearsals all around for the Symphonic Band as they prepare for the concert and upcoming Holly Days Parade.

We had a marvelous performance by the WHS Jazz Ensemble as they opened for The Shout Section Big Band at Coopers Corner on Thursday.  Mr. Vaughan and a couple of students were also able to sit in with the pros that night!

Thank you to all the parents and friends that came out to support live jazz in the suburbs.

In "Alumni News" Chloe Marshinski ('13) and Adrian Gonzales ('13) auditioned and won a spot for a stand alone feature in The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade with the Marching Illini!  

Finally, today Lauren Verdera is representing Westmont as one of the top musicians in the state at the ILMEA District 1 Senior Band Festival, hosted by Elmhurst College. 

Jazz Band Thursday night at Coopers Corner!

The Jazz Ensemble will be performing at 7 PM at Coopers Corner in Winfield on Nov. 18th .  We will play for about 30-45 minutes, and will be staying to hear the first set from The Shout Section Big Band before heading back to WHS, arriving at approximately 9:15 PM.

Come join us for some great jazz in the suburbs!
