2017 Band Camp Ends with Successful Preview Show!
Band camp... it's not something you can truly appreciates until you've been there!  The 2017 season began in early July with Drum Majors at WCU for Symposium, then Leadership Staff retreat, a week of sectionals and then a week of full band rehearsal.  This year's camp wrapped up with our annual Band Camp Preview where the students showcased some marching drills, technique exercises, pre-game for Friday night and about 3 minutes of their 2017 production entitled, Rise.  These kids are going to have a great season!  Be sure to come check them out in person!

West Rowan Alum Performs with Phantom Regiment
On July 30th, the Marching Falcons traveled to Wake Forest's BB&T Field to watch the 30th anniversary of NightBeat, a Drum & Bugle Corps competition.  This year, we had the privilege of  watching WRHS Alum, Matthew Langford (Class of 2015), perform with Phantom Regiment in their production, "Phantasm." Matthew is among the growing number of West Rowan graduates to join the ranks of Drum Corps International, "Marching Music's Major League."  We're proud of all our students, both current and former, and wish the best of luck to those auditioning for the 2018 season!

6th Annual WRHS Mattress Sale Fundraiser
On Saturday, July 29th, the West Rowan Band held it's 6th annual Mattress Sale.  With great products sold below retail - the money CFS (Custom Fundraising Solutions) saves on retail space and advertising goes to the band as profit, raising over $2,000 to the band program in just one day!  Mark and his team at CFS run a great event - and what a fun way to kick off the 2017 season!             Missed the sale, but still interested in looking at a mattress?  Just contact Mr. Trivette!

2017 West Rowan Student Leadership Staff Retreat
For several days prior to band camp, the student leadership team for the "Marching Falcons" participated in their annual "staff retreat" focusing on team-building, problem-solving, character-development, conflict-resolution, planning for the upcoming season and more!  There were a lot of difficult tasks and conversations, but the group did a great job and enjoyed a healthy dose of fun and bonding during the week as well.  Good work this week, folks!  Basics camp and band camp will be a blast... We're already excited for the 2017 season!  :-D

Drum Majors Attend Western Carolina "Summer Symposium"
While many folks were still out enjoying some time by the pool or sleeping late, the West Rowan Drum Majors (Savannah Henderson and Camryn Nooner) spent a week in mid July on campus at Western Carolina University learning about communication, leadership, problem-solving, conducting, score-study and more!  The symposium faculty are some of the top in the nation and the 18-hour days are full of excitement and learning.  They also got the opportunity to work with and observe Carolina Crown in-residence. Excellent work, ladies!  We're proud of you and know that you'll get the 2017 season off to a great start!
