Congratulations to our outstanding West Band musicians selected to the Michigan School Band and Orchestra Association 2026 All-State Ensembles:
• Junior – Eric Haag
• Sophomore – Porter Lawens
• Sophomore – Rhys Miller
• Freshman – Evan Tamlyn
These students were selected from thousands of applicants through a blind audition process and will rehearse and perform in January at the 21st Annual Michigan Music Conference under the direction of notable guest conductors.
This year is especially exciting—ALL FOUR selected high school students are percussionists. Only twelve percussionists statewide earned a spot, and one-third are from West. This achievement speaks to the dedication, talent, and exceptional culture within our percussion program.

Spanish NHS students will be selling woven bracelets and bags made by indigenous people in Latin America during all three lunches this week. The proceeds raised will be returned to the community where the bracelets/bags were made to support education, health, housing, and more. These make great stocking stuffers/friendship bracelets for friends and family at the holiday season. Bracelets are $5, bags $15. See Mrs. Hansen in A205 with questions.
