Huge Congratulations to our Competitive Band for placing 8th at the BOA Orlando, Regional Finals!
Competing among such talented groups and performing at this level is no small feat. We’re so proud of the effort, teamwork, and spirit our students bring to every show. You make our community proud every time you take the field.
Thanks to our talented photography team, we have lasting memories from our Orlando trip. Check out our Flickr page! Our friends from Lakota East also took beautiful photographs of our band. Click HERE to enjoy pictures from both East and West performances!
Our Heartfelt Thank You!
We are so grateful for all the love and support that made this trip possible. Thank you to our amazing directors & staff for their vision, and to our devoted volunteers, chaperones, uniform crew, pit crew, photography team, and everyone who lent a hand, your generosity means the world to us. We couldn’t have done it without you.
The memories we made will last a lifetime.

Let’s fill the stands to cheer on our two favorite marching bands!!
Important information about tonight’s East vs. West game form Mr. Carr was received via FinalForms on October 22nd.
Hey Everyone!
Wanted to send a quick email since this will be a change for this weekend. After much discussion between the East and West athletic departments and administration it has been determined that there is not space to accommodate the Lakota West Band at the game on Friday at Lakota East. Due to some changes to the physical layout of the East stadium and the size of our group there is not space for our group. Please enjoy the night off! If you still want to attend the game you will need to purchase a ticket and attend as a student in the student section.
It is now confirmed that we will have a home playoff game Friday, October 31st. More details to follow on that game in the normal weekly update.
Thank you,
Andy Carr
Lakota West High School
