Our mission is to simply strive to be the best musicians we possibly can be, to take
pride in our work, and make positive contributions to our community. The West Shore
Band is committed to representing our school proudly at festivals and competitions.
Performances include winter and spring concerts for our student body, our "feeder"
elementary schools, and of course, our supportive families of the West Shore Band.
The West Shore Band experience prepares each student not only for the award
winning Jonathan Law High School Band, but also prepares each student for a lifetime
of music appreciation.
