This week, the Middle School, High School and Jazz Bands will be performing in their annual Winter Concert. Join us on Wednesday, December 14th at 6:30 PM in the Waverly High School auditorium for seasonal musical festivities. This year, the Waverly Band Boosters will again be conducting a food drive for the Greater Lansing Food Bank. Bring non-perishable food items, and cash donations will be greatly appreciated as well, since the Food Bank can buy more with the money than shoppers can. As an added incentive, we will again be raffling off a holiday wreath adorned with gift cards for local businesses. Get one raffle ticket for each food item or $1 cash donation you make in the food drive. Come for the music, help the hungry in our community, and stick around for your chance to win. We can't wait to see you there!

Welcome to the 2011-2012 school year! We hope you have had an exciting summer and are ready for another great year in the Waverly Band program. The Waverly Band Boosters September newsletter is now available online! Click here to download a PDF copy. This newsletter contains important information about a number of upcoming events and opportunities, including our annual Apple Pie sale, our concession stand at Spartan Stadium, the Warrior Marching Band's upcoming trip to New York City and a calendar of all the currently scheduled concerts, parades and performances for all the bands.

This week brings two big firsts for Waverly Bands this year: the first Warrior Marching Band performance at Thursday's home football game and the first volunteer opportunity of the school year at our concession stand at Friday's home opener at Spartan Stadium. Important details for both events are available in the newsletter.

Happy reading, and we hope everyone can come out and support the marching band this Thursday!
