Thanks to the auditorium being fully restored, we’re able to have the concert back at our home school of Wauwatosa West!! So no excuses that you didn’t know it was at East, cause it’s not anymore.

West students get in free with ID, even more of a reason to pull up🤨

Concert starts at 7 on December 10th. See you there!

Don’t be afraid… come and support your Wauwatosa West orchestra at the annual Hauntcert!

Big shout out to Wauwatosa East for hosting us in their auditorium while ours is still under construction😓
