It’s not Camp Canadensis grub, but the next best thing! The West Essex Band Boosters served up dinners for our Marching Knights during the week of on-campus Band Camp.
Our kids are hard at work this week, 9 to 9, and WEBB is happy to provide them a well deserved break with nightly dinners.
We thank local businesses for discounted meals, including: Pizza Night from Hollywood Pizza; Mexican Fare from Bubbakoos; and Sandwiches and Boxed Dinners from Shop Rite. In addition, Boza Creamery from Fairfield donated hand-made ice cream on Friday.

We wish our Marching Knights and our new Director, Mr. Griffin an enjoyable and successful Band Camp right at home at West Essex!
