The West Catholic Band
represents a cross section of the high school population. Students in band are
also members of various sports teams, including, Football, Cheerleading, Ski,
Tennis and Soccer. We are Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Band is a
Fine Arts credit and meets daily.
The West Catholic Band
Program also serves area Catholic middle school students. Middle school
students are given the opportunity to join band with other area Catholic middle

opportunity for these young musicians and the cost is minimal. If you think your
child will enjoy this program, please don’t hesitate to sign up for this program
when it is announced at your school.
