Updates

Once again we are back into the swing of things here in the WGH Band Room and are looking forward to the Spring Semester.  We have several events kicking off the New Year and are asking for help from as many people as possible as we once again are hosting Solo and Ensemble.

*SOLO AND ENSEMBLE*

Saturday, January 24 @ WGH

WGH is once again hosting the annual OMEA District 5 Solo and Ensemble Event.  Students from high schools in Ashtabula, Mahoning, and Trumbull counties will be coming to compete throughout the entire day, and EVERYONE is needed to help!  If you can work in the morning, in the afternoon, or all day, we will try to accommodate your schedule.  If things change with your schedule after you sign up, be sure to email Mr. Young.  Please click here to sign up to volunteer for this event.
