We are proud to announce that Jim Loucks, NWPE member and director of the West Valley High School Marching Band and Color Guard in Spokane, WA, shares that West Valley High School is just one of only 15 high schools selected nationwide to participate in the following prestigious events in New York City:
 On November 11, they will be marching in the Veterans Day Parade alongside 30,000 current military and veterans in the largest and longest-running parade of its type. "America's Parade" will be in front of a national television audience in addition to over 500,000 people throughout the parade route. The students will be performing a rousing arrangement of "Battle Hymn." On November 12, the students will be performing a patriotic concert with the other Bands to honor the First Responders from 9-11. The Band of Pride Tribute Concert will take place in Times Square with an estimated crowd in excess of a half million people. The students and their parents have been fundraising continuously since last September and are within $10,000 of their overall goal of $100,000. If you would like to make a donation to the Band, you can go to any Banner Bank branch and make a donation to "The West Valley High School Band." Banner Bank is matching up to $3,000! Congratulations to Mr. Loucks and his students! Have wonderful trip!
