Westside High School Band Night

Westside High School invited the West Briar Advanced Band to get a feel for high school band on Friday Night, inviting our grizzlies to participate.

We appreciate the hospitality that Mr. Olivares, Mr. Ulloa, the band parents, and band students showed us! It was a great time and we can't wait to be back with Westside on December 11th for our Winter Showcase!

Thanks Mr. Diggs for giving our students this opportunity!
