Reflections on Saturday

I am so very, very proud of your performance on Saturday! You made incredible strides from Wednesday to Saturday, and absolutely nailed it! The positive energy on stage was palpable. From the start, I could feel your determination and focus filling the stage. I could write on and on about each piece, but I will save that for later, because I have to share this news . . .

WSW is a Semi-finalist for The American Prize!

You may remember, back in September, I announced that I had submitted three applications for us for The American Prize competition. The first of our three category announcements was made today: we are one of six semi-finalists in the community band division! Read the blog post announcement here, or visit their main website.

Last year, the finalists and winners were announced in June/July, so we may have to wait a bit for final results. But for now, we are definitely in the running. So, congratulations! Your amazing work and immense dedication has been recognized!

Next rehearsal: February 11

We’re off until Monday, February 11. We’ll have new music ready to go at that rehearsal. Until then, stay warm! And congratulations again!
