Homecoming 2023! #207Now #homecoming @mainewestband @mainewestchoir @wmth_west @mwactivities @mainewestfab

School pride abounds at Maine West today, as the school community celebrates Homecoming 2023!

The admired Warrior Drumline got the party started this morning, performing before the start of the school day. The Choraliers sang a beautiful version of the national anthem to begin today's assembly, and the Maine West Band lifted everyone's spirits at the assembly, as well as during the incredible Marching Warriors halftime performance of "The Architect" at tonight's victorious football game against Maine East.

WMTH covered tonight's game! Watch their broadcast HERE.

Thank you to the many family members who served on the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters volunteer crew to sell merch and split the pot tickets and to assist the band! We love our volunteers!
