As members of the West Fork High School Gator Band, we live by the following five rules to ensure the best band experience for every student in our program:
Be Kind You never know what is going on with someone, but compassion can go a long way.
Build Relationships We are a family!
Communication is key to being successful in life.
Time is a commodity. Time is precious and we work hard to make the most of eery minute we have together to guarantee no time is wasted for our students or parents.
Have Fun!! You will remember these years for the rest of your life!
