The Wahawk Band actively supports the West High Basketball teams by performing at ten to different home games. Students are assigned by the directors to one of two different pep bands that perform at these home games. These assignments are to ensure proper instrumentation and experience level in both ensembles. Students are expected to perform or find a substitute of the same instrument for each of their pep band’s five performances. Band points will be awarded to students who perform beyond their required five performances. Find the current rosters and schedule below.
