Video Recording Help Needed

We are looking someone to volunteer to compile the videos taken by parents during marching season starting next year. Gregg Jorgensen, who has been doing it for the several years, will be leaving since his son graduates this year. If we don't have anyone step up, this year will be the last year we have a marching video.

If you are interested, please send an email to volunteer@wthsbands.org.

The IMEA Audition Etudes have been revised and available on the web site. Look for the heading "Concert Audition Music - Set 'A' (Revised 08/25/2008)" under Audition Materials.

The revised 2008-2009 band handbook is now available here for download.

Warren Band Booster Membership

Why Become a Band Booster?

Band Boosters organize fundraisers to benefit the band program. In the past we have been able to help with purchasing instruments, accessories, uniforms and props for all bands during the marching and concert seasons. With the increasing budget cuts our monetary input is greatly needed and appreciated by the band directors.

Band Boosters also donate their time to help with different activities for example: parade walkers, field crew for both marching bands, chaperone trips, and different stations at the craft fair to name a few. Attending the bimonthly meetings during the school year is the best way to stay in touch with what goes on. The Website is also of great help in staying informed if you cannot attend meetings.

Band Boosters have members-only access to this web site that include membership directory, extended photo library, downloads, and forums.

The $5 family membership fee goes directly to the program.
