Earlier this month, WHS students auditioned for the highly selective Eastern Senior Districts ensembles. These ensembles allow high school students to improve their own musical ability and to play with other accomplished musicians as well. I really like watching the district rehearsals, WHS band director Joe Oneschuk said. You get to see the whole creative process happen. The [auditions include] strangers coming together who have never played with each other before, [and it] goes from a kind of rough first take to a really beautiful finished product.

Spirit Week takes place during the week of Thanksgiving break each year. The three-day event is put together by the WHS Student Council to provide fun in the form of games, decorations and events for students. The week kicked off with Color Blast, where students decorated the hallways in their class color. Shortly after, other after-school events took place throughout the week like the annual Spike ball Tournament and A cappella concert. To end Spirit Week, students participated in a day of games and activities on Wednesday, Nov. 22 before Thanksgiving recess began.
