Local residents, get ready: Two hundred performing arts students from West Potomac High School are about to swarm the neighborhood for their annual Tag Day.

Teams from band, chorus, guitar, orchestra and theater will be out knocking on doors. They’ll be handing out a “tag” inviting the community to this year’s performances, and asking for donations to support West Potomac’s programs. The Fairfax County Public Schools’ budget does not fully cover the costs of instruments, equipment, costumes, uniforms, travel, special staffing, etc. so the students count on the support of the local community on Tag Day.

If not home when they come by, residents can still donate by clicking on the “Tag Day Donation” button at www.wolverineband.com. All proceeds from Tag Day are split between the five groups.
