WEST MIDDLE SCHOOL outstanding during district competition

On May 3 the West Middle School Concert Band attended the District 12 Michigan State Band and Orchestra State Competition at Oxford High School.

The band performed Imperial composed by Karl King and Mexican Fiesta by John Moss.

It was wonderful to see a house full of parents, grandparents, and other family supporters. The last time a West Middle School band represented the district at a State Band Competition was in 1974.

The Cardinals were awarded with a second-place rating, which establishes them as an Excellent Band.

Congratulations Mrs. Farmer and the West Concert Band. 
The band will take the stage at Wayne County Community College on May 29 for its Farewell Concert.  Audience members will enjoy broadway hits from popular musicals such as Chicago, West Side Story, Mamma Mia, Grease, and Hairspray. Come and enjoy an evening of Broadway.
