<br />
Monday, July 27 - music practice (6:00-7:30 PM) - although this practice is not mandatory, it is highly recommended as we're working through cuts and transitions in our fall show music. It really helps to have a large musical group so I can get the full musical effect. So, please, if you are in town, have your student attend Monday's practice.<br />
<br />
Thursday, August 13 and Friday, August 14 - Band Camp begins at WVHS. Refer to the packet that was sent out a few weeks ago. If you didn't get one, please email me at jim.loucks@wvsd.org<br />
<br />
This year's show, "Outta This World," promises to be very entertaining... you won't want to miss it.<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />

Good news continues with the WVHS Band Program...</h2>
Congratulations to Kayla DeVleming, senior Contralto Clarinet soloist, who received an Excellent rating (II) at the 2014 Washington Music Educators Association Solo Festival. Held on the campus of Central Washington University (Ellensburg), she competed against 20 of the finest high school musicians in the state. These students represent all WIAA classifications (B/1A/2A/3A/4A), and awards are only given to the top three musicians in each instrument grouping.<br />
<br />
The "excellent" rating is defined as follows, "An outstanding performance lacking only minimal artistic and technical characteristics. This would certainly be a <i>Superior </i>rating at the regional contest level.

This class will be a non-auditioned Band for students with less experience or for those who desire to switch musical instruments. This is great news and will help in improving the entire Band Program at West Valley High School. The Wind Ensemble will continue to meet during "O" Hour and the new class will meet during 4th Period. More details will be provided in the very near future.</span><br style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><br style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><b>MARCHING BAND STAFF</b></span><br style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" /><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.917969); color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">The West Valley High School Marching Band has two staff openings for the 2012 Marching season:</span><br />
