Winter Guard Community Performance of La Llorona & State Qualification Announcement #207Now #winterguard #statebound @mainewestband @mainewestfab

 

Congratulations to the Maine West Winter Guard on their incredible performance of this year's show, La Llorona, which is based on a well-known folkloric legend traditionally told throughout Mexico, Central America and northern South America. Through the show, the team demonstrated incredible growth of their skill, spinning not just flags, but rifles and sabers! 

After the performance, coach Colyer presented a special video tribute to the graduating seniors, and then family and friends of the seniors presented them each with a rose.

We also have some news...

Impressively, in its second year (go team 2!), we are incredibly proud to announce that...

the Maine West Winter Guard is STATE-BOUND!

Congratulations to the team and to coach Colyer on an amazing achievement! The team will represent West on March 29th at Victor J. Andrew High School in Tinley Park. They are scheduled to perform at 5:15 p.m. Come out to support your Maine West Winter Guard at State!

Warrior Homecoming 2024! #207Now #homecoming @mainewestband @mainewestchoir @mainewestfab

 

Homecoming is one of the most exciting times of the year at Maine West, and no Homecoming celebration is complete without the incredible energy of our marching band! Each year, our talented musicians bring the spirit of the season to life with their powerful performances, helping to ignite school pride across campus. Today, West was alive with school spirit, celebrating Homecoming 2024! The Marching Warriors treated the spectators to part of their competition show, MAD ROMANCE - The Joker's Tale!

At the Homecoming Assembly, the Choraliers kicked off the festivities with a beautiful performance of the National Anthem.

Also performing at the Assembly was DJ Josh Jimenez! This was the first time we had a live student DJ perform, and DJ Josh did an amazing job!

Thank you to the family, friends and fans of the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters for all of your efforts to support the band and all of our programs during Homecoming and all year round!

Winter Guard Community Performance and Awards Banquet 2024 #207Now #colorguard #winterguard @mainewestband @mainewestfab @mwactivities #wgi #mwcgc

 

Today, the 1st ever Maine West Winter Guard and Coach Kaitlyn Colyer presented their end-of-season Winter Guard Community Performance and Awards Banquet. This year's Winter Guard team has done amazing work learning all of the techniques required of a color guard, and in its first season - impressively - they were able to perform at two contests in the Midwest Color Guard Circuit: Hersey and Minooka. 

None of this could have happened without a dedicated team, an inspiring coach, and supportive caregivers. Congratulations to both the team and Coach Colyer on finishing a wildly successful first ever season of Winter Guard at Maine West!
