Welcome to the UNofficial WMHS Rebel Band Website!

11/10/00 - BURR! Tonite was a cold night for the band. This game we did pre-game and half-time. At pre-game we did a little crowd pleaser thing like the LSU band does for their crowds. It was awesome. At half-time we did taps and God bless America to recognize Vetran's day. This has been the coldedst game of the year so far. The Rebs played Warren Easton for their first playoff game. We blew Warren awayt with a score 64-0!! We played more in the stands, which was a pain since it was sooo cold.

11/3/00 - IT RAINED!!!! The band didn't go because it was an away game at Ruston and it was pouring so we didn't go. Now off to the playoffs next week!

- 10/27/00 Now that festival is over, the band has much less pressure on them to perform "perfectly" at the football games. Tonite the Rebs play Ouachita. The band marched pregame with this line-up: Sing Sing Sing, You Can Call Me Al for the Raiders, Taps, and God Bless America. During the game, the band played more in the stands. The drumline had a little copycat competition going on with Ouachita's drumline. It was funny. When the game was over, which West Monroe did win, the crowd gathered around and listened to just the band when they played the Alma Mater, Dixie Chorale, and then the all time fave, DIXIE!

- 10/24/00 Tonite the Rebel Band performed at the annual High School Marching Band Festival at ULM. They were the last band to perform. The band and the crowd were pleased when they announced that they had made a 1! This is the 35th year the band has received a 1 at the festival. Bands are judged on a scale from 1 to 5, 1 being the best and 5 being the worst. All there hard work has paid off! Way to go Rebel Band! We are proud of you all!

- 10/20/00 Tonight's game was against the Neville NERDS! They are our rivalry and they sure didn't seem much of a rivalry when the Rebs beat them 35-0! Anyways, enough about them, I am writing about the band! We marched at halftime and we did our regular show except we played You can call me Al for the Raiders instead of Hold On I'm Comin'. It was sooooo great! The fans went wild when we were through! WOW! Like Mr. Freeman says, "People will be throwing their newborn babies at us!" Well that didn't happen, but still, people went wild. After our show, they recognized the Seniors and the Band Sweet Heart for 2000, who is our Drum Major, Sara Taylor. It was a great night for the band, and I know I can't wait for festival Tuesday, Oct 24th. If you didn't see the band perform at this game, you still have a chance to watch it again on Tuesday on Channel 7 at 7:00 PM!

- 10/17/00 I added a chat room and a message board! Please start posting anything you have to say in the message board! Also, festival is only 1 week away! Wish us luck!! We have a reputation here to keep! (over 30 years of recieving 1's!)

- 10/15/00 new page: The "Link Us" page. Buttons so you can link us! Also I added a new picture at the top. (it's the band shirt!! hehe =)

- 10/13/00 This game was an away game for the Rebels. The whole band didn't go, only the pep band went. I didn't go so I really don't know how it went. I know that they didn't march though! I would never go on a school bus 6 hours long on a Friday the 13th! I listened to the game though and the Rebs won! It was a close game though 28-23. I just can't wait for this Friday's game against Neville, our rivalry! This one will be good! Remember to watch the game on channel 7 Tuesday night at 7 PM! I know I will be watching!

- 10/6/00 This Friday game was West Monroe's Homecoming. The band came out earlier and marched pre-game. They did their festival show, which is around 9 minutes long! It is the longest show they have ever done. It included Georgia on my mind, Sing sing sing, Taps, and God Bless America. During half-time they played Hold On I'm Comin' for the Raiders. Also they played their homecoming music which incudes: Ice Castles, Everything I do, and Wind Beneath my Wings.
