WSMA State Marching Championship - A shout out to the Cadets of Waukesha West for their 4th place finish in class AAA at the WSMA State Marching Band competition that was held this past Saturday at UW-Whitewater. The Cadets also captured the Best Percussion caption award, which recognizes the best drumline/frontline percussion section in their division. Their final performance of "Slither & Stone" was outstanding inside Perkin's Stadium! A big thank you to Mr. David Farmer, Mrs. Sue Anderson, and the marching band parents for all of their work in making this a great season! I was able to address the Cadets yesterday and am proud of all they overcame this season as they finished strong! Congrats!

AP Pacesetter Recognition - The Wisconsin Advanced Placement Advisory Council (WAPAC) recently announced the 2021 Advanced Placement Pacesetter Awards. WAPAC is comprised of Wisconsin secondary and collegiate educators that are dedicated to expanding access to Advanced Placement (AP) coursework and rigorous learning for all students. The Pacesetter Awards are unique to Wisconsin. They recognize schools for promoting both access to and excellence in AP courses. Schools are acknowledged for their efforts at three different levels. West High School was recognized at level 3! Only 109 of the approximately 520 public high schools in Wisconsin meet the criteria for recognition at one of the levels. West was 1 of 59 schools to receive level 3 distinction. This is a community celebration!!
Epic Proportions - Set in the 1930s, the play tells the story of two brothers, Benny and Phil, who go to the Arizona desert to be extras in the huge Biblical epic Exeunt Omnes. Things move very quickly in this riotous comedy and before you know it, Phil is directing the movie, and Benny is starring in it. To complicate matters further they both fall in love with Louise, the assistant director in charge of the extras. Along the way, there are gladiator battles, the Ten Plagues, and a cast of thousands portrayed by four other actors. Please come support the West End Players as they open on Friday night October 21st and perform throughout the weekend!
