Waitsburg School Band debuts new uniforms at WCD Parade

WAITSBURG - Waitsburg High School's band now has new uniforms thanks to the generous donation from the Ed and Gloria Lawrence Foundation.

Lawrence's daughter Susan Talbott, an alumnus of Waitsburg, learned that the band needed uniforms and contacted band director Elizabeth Jaegeski. She told Jaegeski that her parents had earmarked money specifically for the Waitsburg HS band through the Blue Mountain Foundation.

The band had been using uniforms from the 1990s, and the new brightly colored, innovative outfits are a welcome improvement. The band debuted the new uniforms at the Waitsburg Celebration Days parade on Saturday, May 18.

The school, band director, students, and community give a big thank you to the Ed and Gloria Lawrence Foundation for its generous gift
