The West Plains High School Zizzer Pride Band will perform a variety of patriotic music at the annual “A Musical Salute to Veterans” event at 1:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, at the West Plains Civic Center arena.

The event is free and open to all. It is hosted by the Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) University/Community Programs (U/CP) Department.

More about the band

Under the direction of Rocky Long, Melody Alford and Curtis Stalker, the award-winning Zizzer Pride Band performs more than 50 times each school year for parades, band festivals, athletic events, concerts and other community-related events, officials said.

The band will travel to Orlando, Florida, in February 2023 to perform at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom Main Street Parade.

Students also will participate in a creative workshop while at Disney World and will have hands-on experience in creating a soundtrack for a Disney movie. Students will work with a professional conductor and participate in the process of learning how music scores are created and aligned with video to produce another award-winning Disney feature movie.

For more information or to sponsor the band’s travel, please email Band@Zizzers.org.
