Tag Day: ONLY All-Band Fundraiser of the Year!
Calling ALL students including guard involved in any curricular or extra curricular band at Lakota West, West Freshman, Plains, and Ridge. Concert Band, Jazz Band, Marching Band – Competitive and Football. All of the students in our program benefit from the funds that are raised by this fundraiser. The school district and fees support the ordinary operation of the classes, but for our program to remain one of the best in the entire country other funds are needed to support the student experience in all band classes.

Picture Day 2025
Monday 25 August, 2025 – during practice
Thank you to our photography team for capturing individual photos of our Marching Firebirds again this year. Individual, senior, and section photos will be taken during practice on Monday, August 25. All photos will be posted to our Flickr account after the editing process is completed. Mr. Carr will take the annual full band panoramic photo Monday just before sunset. The panoramic print can be purchased for $20 HERE; it is not available for digital download.
While the digital photo platform is available for all to enjoy, we kindly ask those who are able to consider a $5 donation to support our Flickr subscription and help our photography team continue their tradition of excellence. Flickr allows you to “favorite” photos and curate a collection of your favorite Marching Firebird(s) while enjoying and sharing memorable moments from each season.
Thank you for your help & support on our Band program!! Good Luck!!

Third Quarter Refreshment donations
Our first Football game of the season is on Friday, August 29th.
During the 3rd quarter of football games, our band students take a well-earned break and enjoy cookies and a drink. This year, we’re making it easier for band families by taking cookie and soda shopping off your plate.
We request each student to donate $10 toward the 3rd quarter refreshments.
