West Memphis High School Band Alumni Concert - April 25, 2010


We are pleased to invite you to join us for the West Memphis High School Band Alumni Concerts to be held April 25 in our beautiful Performing Arts Center at 2:30.

The rehearsals will be April 24 beginning at 9:30. If you need an instrument you can email Cathy Williams, cathywmhs25@aol.com or send a message on Face Book. Our guest conductors for the weekend are former West Memphis Band Directors Phil Burns, Steve Warner and Bobby Porter.

Amro Music Store in Memphis is willing to allow you to use an instrument for the weekend but I need to know immediately in order for Mr. Burns to set that up. We have already had alumni coming by to pick up music or borrow an instrument to practice. Many alumni have sent their instrument to the shop to have it checked out and ready to go, made plane reservations and called other friends. It's going to be a fun weekend with lots of reliving memories with old friends and making new ones.

Join the WMHS Band page on Facebook and post pictures of your band memories and see who all is signed up to join us. Please spread the work to all your former band friends. We also are looking forward to being joined by former WMHS Band member and Stax Music Legend Wayne Jackson.

The schedule looks to be:
Saturday, April 24th
9:30 Meet and greet give out music
10:00 Rehearsal
12:00 Lunch provided by WM Band Boosters
1-4 Rehearsals (with plenty of breaks Ha)

Please help by contacting your friends who are not on Facebook WMHS Band page that may not know about this fun event. If you are not up to playing just come and join us for the fun and fellowship and attend the concert on Sunday.
