Since the academic year of 1906-1907, the Spirit of the West Marching Band has striven for excellence in musicality and stunning visuals. With powerfully artistic half-time shows, ranging from classic Western to swinging Latin, the members and the staff of the Spirit of the West have dedicated themselves to maintaining a high standard of performance while enjoying the spirit, loyalty, traditions, unity, and engaging social aspects that encompass the very core of the Spirit of the West Marching Band.
