Outstanding Warrior Marchers Recognized

Twentieth Annual Marching Band Award Ceremony
As usual, the salads and
deserts brought in by students
in marching band, perfectly
complemented the scalloped potatoes and ham provided by the
Westview Music Association.
Band director, Mr. Mike Brown
noted that this is the twentieth
time this award ceremony has
been held.
Six seniors were recognized
and awarded with camping
chairs: Ted Berger, Ben Cramer, Mack Grobis, Samantha
Miller, Kiersten Reeve, and
Daniel Ritter. All students that
participated in band week and
the state fair competition were
recognized.
Mr. Brown awarded trophies to this year’s top five
marchers, as selected by the students themselves for the 2012
marching season, and a trophy
to winner of the color guard
award. The evening concluded
with a slide show of photos from
all the events in which the band
p articipated and a video of their
performance at the state fair.
