For this evenings home game
– Students must be dressed in their uniform and in their seat no later than 6:15 p.m. I suggest that you arrive no later than 6:00 p.m. Remember to bring your black band shoes and your black socks. You must also wear your band shirt under your uniform. Wear a pair of shorts so you can slip the uniform pants on easily. The students should be ready to leave the high school no later than 9:30 p.m. following this home football game. PARENTS – PLEASE WAIT OUTSIDE OF THE BAND ROOM FOR YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER. It is already quite congested in there after a performance. Absolutely no students (except those in the band) will be permitted to walk through the band room to get into the high school.

ALL SOPHOMORES AND JUNIORS ARE TO BRING COOKIES (at least two dozen) TO THE HIGH SCHOOL BAND ROOM WHEN THEY ARRIVE AT 6:00 p.m. (Use non-returnable containers. The cookies are for the after halftime refreshments for both bands.)

Saturday, September 17 – The Lakewood High School Band Festival begins at 7:00 p.m. Students are to report to the high school before 5:30 p.m. There are ten bands at this festival and Westlake performs eighth. I predict that we will not perform before 8:15 p.m. There is a “Parade of Bands” around the track prior to the start of the event. I hope we have a good representation of people from Westlake attend this festival. Try to sit near the fifty yard line and be sure to wear something that says “Westlake!” The students should be ready to be picked up at the high school before 10:00 p.m. on Saturday following the festival.
