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!

2023 Marching Warriors Showcase #207Now #marchingband @mainewestband @mainewestfab

Tonight, the Marching Warriors performed their final official performance of the season at their indoor Marching Band Showcase concert. Our talented students showcased their skills, playing their show, The Architect, among other pop tunes and drum cadences performed throughout the season, and, of course, the Warrior Fight Song. This event was a fantastic opportunity for our students to shine and for the audience to hear just how well they play, without the external noise of wind and fans!

We are excited to build on the musical momentum as the band transitions to the remainder of their concert band programming for the year!

If you missed tonight's concert, don't fret! We have a video of the program on our WMTH YouTube Channel for you to enjoy below:

Lastly, we had some special guests at tonight's concert! The Varsity Football team and Coach Klupchak came to the concert to support the band, and joined in the performance of the fight song!

 

2023 MW/D62 Marching Band Night! #207Now #62Learns @mainewestband @62schools @mainewestfab

 
Tonight, Maine West hosted 7th and 8th grade band students and teachers from Iroquois, Algonquin and Chippewa at the annual MW/D62 Marching Band Night! Our friends from District 62 learned to play the fight song in student-led sectionals earlier in the evening.

At the concert, the Maine West Band performed their show The Architect, among other fan favorites - the fight song and drumline cadences. The District 62 and Maine West Bands joined together to finish the concert in Mega Band Mode and performed a Taylor Swift tune and the Maine West Fight Song!

Congratulations to all of the student musicians and music teachers, especially our friends from District 62! We look forward to welcoming all of you in the Maine West Band program as students soon!

Maine West Welcomes District 62 Band Students to Marching Band Night! #207Now #62Learns #band #marchingband #musiceducation @mainewestband @mainewestfab @62schools

Students from three District 62 Middle Schools - Chippewa, Algonquin and Iroquois - were guests of the Maine West Marching Band tonight at the annual D62/MW Marching Band Night. High School band students led District 62 students in sectional rehearsals, and then both groups combined for a dress rehearsal.

In tonight's concert, the Marching Warriors performed their show, Mythos, for an audience of largely middle school students and their parents, and the legendary Warrior Drum Line performed their standard hits. The District 62 and Maine West students then combined forces performing together on Blinding Lights by the Weeknd and, of course, the Maine West Fight Song!

Thanks to Mr. Bernie Gerstmayr, Maine West Band Director, and the three District 62 Middle School Band Directors - Brian Gavilan (Chippewa), Sarah Todd (Iroquois) and Missy Legutki (Algonquin) - for all of your work to make tonight's wonderful collaboration happen. 

We are looking forward to welcoming the #futurewarriors to Maine West!

Thanks to the many parents who volunteered with the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters tonight to help make tonight's event happen! District 62 parents, we welcome you to join our team of volunteers and supporters in the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters!
