• Join the WHS Alumni Marching Band!

  If you are an alumni of the Westbrook High School band program, you are invited to a unique opportunity not before seen in this town. 

  The Westbrook High School Alumni Marching Band!

   

  What is it?

  • It’s the current WHS concert band with WHS Band Alumni and any Westbrook community member with concert band or marching band experience.

   

  What is this for?

  • The Westbrook Tree Lighting Parade!

   

  When is it?

  • Sunday, December 4, 2022

   

  What time is it?

  • 3:15 Tardy Time 

  • 3:30 Warm-up and rehearsal

  • 4:00 Step-off

   

  Is there a rehearsal?

  • Yes, Saturday, 12/3, 10:00am at WHS

  • You must be able to attend the rehearsal to participate!

   

  Where do we meet for the parade?

  • Captain Stannard House (next to Dunkin’)

   

  Where do we end?

  • Ted Lane Field, 2-70 Fiske Ln, Westbrook, CT 06498 (behind the firehouse) 

   

  Who is eligible?

  • Any woodwind or brass player who graduated from Westbrook HS and participated through their senior year in the band program and Westbrook community members that still play their horn.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot take percussionists at this time.

   

  What about instruments?

  • Unfortunately, there are very few school instruments available to lend out for this event.

  • You must provide your own working instrument including reeds and mouthpieces, etc..

  • We do have two sousaphones and one baritone sax that can be used.

  • If you seriously want to participate and do not have an instrument, contact me to see if there is an option.

   

  How do I sign up?

  • Click here and fill out this form. 

  • If your section is full, add your name to the Overflow slot and list your instrument in the comments

   

  How do I get music?

  • A PDF is attached. Simply print out your part.

  • We are only playing from the roll off at m. 9 - m. 30

  • This does need to be memorized.

   

  Can I listen to the music ahead of time?

  • Yes, click here. We are only playing from the roll off at m. 9 - m. 30

   

  What do I wear?

  • Just like every other Tree Lighting Parade, we dress casually, for the weather, and in the holiday spirit!

  • The more holiday bling there is, the more fun it is!

  • If you use lights on your instrument, test it out first! An instrument that can't function due to bling is not helpful.

   

  How late is too late to sign up?

  • You must be able to attend the rehearsal and I need to know ahead of time who is coming. Signing up after that is too late.

   

  This is a family-friendly event.  As such, participants are expected to represent Westbrook High School honorably.  The expectation is that participants exhibit proper decorum for the duration of the event.

   

  Email Eric Gerhardt at egerhardt@westbrookctschools.org with any questions.

   

  Let’s make this band huge!

   

  Sincerely,

   

  Eric Gerhardt
