Westlake Thunder Bands

Congratulations on a great competition this weekend! We are especially excited about our color guard caption win—what an awesome accomplishment. We are so proud of Mariann and the whole color guard for pulling together, making adjustments, learning new work, and then putting your best work out on the field Saturday night!

We also want to express our thanks to all of the parents who have assisted with all of the competitions this season, including parents from the color guard this weekend. We have enjoyed having new parents come work with us during competitions. Without your help with props, equipment, food, and all sorts of other details, we couldn’t make this happen.
