Band

Manly West's highly acclaimed band was started in 1993 by a group of dedicated parents.

​Much of the Manly West Band's success is the result of our wonderful, dedicated staff and parents.

​We invite you and your child to join this special part of the school community.

To learn more about our band program, visit the parents and citizen's association (P&C) website.
