Newsletter #3 2018-2019 Marching Season

8/20/2018

Happy New School Year Band Families,

We are well on our way to having a great year.  The band has a good amount of the show on the field for this time of year and they have been working hard on creating a great production!

If you haven’t heard the good news by now, both the Wind Ensemble and our Saxophone Ensemble have been invited to perform at the Kansas Music Educators State Convention on Friday, February 22.  Each year, select ensembles are auditioned via a blind recording process with a maximum of two entries per school; both BVSW applications proved to be some of the best in the state and are a huge projection of how hard our students work at being great musicians.  

Please see the information below regarding the upcoming band events.  Thank you for your continued patience with our Charms (band administration app) email issue.  As email servers began to update security, Charms had difficulty keeping up with the pace.  To stay in the loop, please check the website often and make sure you have subscribed to the Band Boosters (Parents) and BVSW Band (students) REMIND101 – directions are below.

See you all at back to school night!

Respectfully, 
Mr. Lesando and Ms. Bock
