Waterloo West High School Band

The Waterloo West High School Band Program has a long tradition of excellence in music. The Wahawk Band prides itself on a well-balanced program with a focus on music education, performance and a commitment to teaching students how to succeed in life through hard work and a passion for learning. Ensemble offerings include the Wahawk Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Symphony, Pep Band and Jazz Band. Students also perform in a Solo & Ensemble Festival and have the opportunity to participate in Symphony Orchestra, Show Choir Band and Musical Pit Orchestra.

Membership is open to all high school students who currently play a band instrument. The course is designed to give every student an equal opportunity to participate in the various aspects of the band program and enhance his/her musical growth through individual study and performance as it applies to his/her particular instrument. In addition, the student will be given the opportunity to appreciate music both as listener and performer.

Students participating in the ‘Wahawk’ Bands are able to participate in any other activity West High offers. Accommodations are made by the directors to allow students to be actively involved in a variety of activities.
