    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

    Our Marching Band has been rated SUPERIOR for 19 years in a row with over 200 trophies showcasing their success.  The West Port Jazz Band has been rated SUPERIOR for 20 years in a row.  Our Concert Band has been rated been consistently Superior as well.  Our Color Guard has been rated SUPERIOR for 20 years.  Hard working students find a way to be successful.
