Week of May 26: Memorial Day Edition
Memorial Day Procession
Each year, all four of our West Bands combine to perform in the Oshkosh Memorial Day Procession. We are excited to once again have the opportunity to perform for the community. This is a required performance for all students, including current seniors. The schedule is below:
6:45am students arrive and eat breakfast (provided); load equipment; students dress
7:45am depart West High School
8:00am arrive downtown
9:00am procession begins
9:45am approximate time procession is complete; load buses
10:15am depart downtown
10:30am arrive at West High School; unload equipment and change
11:00am students are dismissed
The uniform for the parade is as follows: All students will wear their marching uniform jacket, pants, and hat provided by the school. Students are responsible for providing long black socks and all-black shoes. Shoes that are not all-black will be made all-black. Expensive and/or fancy shoes are unnecessary! Find a pair of cheap all-black shoes that will last all four years at Walmart, Target, Goodwill, or your favorite local store. Students with financial difficulties should contact Mr. Singer or Mr. Wilson for assistance. (Students will not board the bus or be able to perform without the proper attire.)
The parade route runs along Algoma Boulevard from Jackson Street to Murdock Avenue for units not proceeding to the cemetery.
