Warrior Homecoming Spirit Shines! #207Now #marchingwarriors #WMTH #choir @mainewestband @mainewestchoir @mainewestfab

Congratulations to the 2022 MARCHING WARRIORS and everyone who had a hand in Maine West's Homecoming festivities! Today was truly a wonderful day celebrating Warrior pride and spirit - filled with endless examples of why WEST IS BEST!

The morning fight song and drumline performance, the assembly performances by the choir singing the national anthem and the band playing all our favorites, and then, of course, tonight's half time show of Mythos - the 2022 marching band show. 

HERE is a folder with more images from today's festivities!

WMTH was out at tonight's game capturing exciting footage from the festivities! You can catch their video in the next few days at THIS LINK.

Lastly, a HUGE thank you to all of the parents volunteering with the Maine West Fine Arts Boosters tonight!
