WE ARE BACK!!! It is time again to remind everyone of the West Aurora Blackhawk Band's participation in the Fourth of July Parade in Aurora. Call time is 8:00 a.m. at West High (door 16a). It is extremely important we have a strong showing for this event as it is the most attended parade of the year by the people of Aurora and the surrounding area. We are pleased to continue our tradition of bringing back our alumni to march the parade with the current Blackhawk Band!
Class of 2024: We once again extend our congratulations on your graduation. We hope you will return to the ranks to make your last performance in the Blackhawk Band a great one! Further, it would be nice to see old friends from years gone by.
