Westview Band and Performance Ensemble
	Marching Band

The Wildcat Marching Band is an award-winning ensemble of approximately 160 students from all grades, including the Performance Ensemble as well as musicians from all three wind ensembles and percussion. The Marching Band and Performance Ensemble perform at halftime of all home football games, and perform as a pep band during the games.

The Marching Band season begins with a two-week band camp in August. During band camp, fall-term class periods, and fall evening rehearsals, the Marching Band learns a complex and challenging show. The show combines three or more short musical productions with marching and movement.

The marching show is presented at three or more weekend competitions during the fall. To learn more about the competitions, click here.

Parade marching is another important element of Westview’s music program. The Marching Band and Performance Ensemble generally march in the Beaverton Community Parade each September. The school year concludes with participation in the Portland Rose Festival Grand Floral Parade each June. Westview won the Sweepstakes Award as the top marching band in the 2006 parade, and won second place in the 2007 parade.
