Competition season is upon us!!! We would love to see the stands filled with supporters for our kids!!! It really is in support of all the kids because they all work extremely hard in ridiculous heat (bring on true Fall!) for hours upon hours and it is their time to shine!!!! We hope to see you there!!!!

Next weekend we will be making our competition debut with our 2026 production “The City Never Sleeps.” Check out our 2026 contest schedule and make plans to come out and watch! 🏙️🌆🌃

The band needs assistance this coming Wednesday from approximately 11am - 2p but the time could be off a bit. We have 175 cases of drinks that will need to be moved from the front of the football field house around to our visitor side concession trailer. Eddie cannot do it by himself. If you are able to assist, we would greatly appreciate it. If you have a college student who needs volunteer hours and is available during that time frame, we will gladly sign off on their hours. If you can help, let us know and we will put you in touch with Eddie. If we can get at the very least 3-4 people, it would be fantastic! Thank you in advance!!!!!

Please let us know if you would like a Sponsor form! The band is 99% funded by the Band Boosters. Every sponsor, donations, fundraising purchases are appreciated more than you know!!

We are looking for sponsors for our 2026–2027 band season. We rely heavily on donations and fundraising to help cover the many costs that come with running our band program and, most importantly, to give our students the opportunities they deserve.

If you own a business, work for a business, or know someone who might be interested in sponsoring the band, please reach out to me at [email protected]. We would really appreciate any support or connections you can provide.

Thanks so much for supporting the West Ridge Band and our students!

While supporting the band concessions at Fun Fest (we thank you!!), we are introducing a new thing to see how it goes and to give an extra option for the kiddos.

The Kids Pack will be $5 and will include the following two options....

OPTION 1:

Ham and Cheese Lunchable
Goldfish
Fruit Snacks
Capri Sun

OPTION 2:

Grape Uncrustable
Goldfish
Fruit Snacks
Capri Sun

The kids packs will come in a sealed 2 gallon baggie, which will be great to put trash in when food is gone, and the uncrustable pack will be kept in a separate cooler from the lunchable pack in consideration of any nut allergies.

ENJOY!!!!
