Welcome

Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year and the West Port Band Program. I look forward to an interesting and exciting year of music education and performances.  Success is not a “given,” but is instead dependent upon each of us; student, parent and teacher, to commit and dedicate our talents and resources to the goals of excellence.

History
