The future musicians at West Noble were on display this week as both the band and choir programs at West Noble Middle School had their fall programs.
The band performed on Monday, showcasing their growth under the leadership of band director Moorea Douglas. Thursday evening, choir director Sarah Sponseller had the spotlight as her multiple grade levels worked through a series of lyrical performances.
We salute all of the musicians and directors who performed this week, very well done!

The West Noble Middle School music department will have two shows this week:
TONIGHT (MONDAY) at 7 p.m. - The Fall Band Concert
THURSDAY at 7 p.m. - The Fall Choir Concert
West Noble competed in the Scholastic B division and scored a Silver Rating, but wasn't able to qualify for further advancement in the state series, ending its fall competition season.
The Lightning Brigade will have one more performance this fall, set to perform this Friday at the West Noble home football game. Let's make sure we recognize these hardworking musicians one more time this fall!
Special thanks to Moorea Douglas for providing photos from The Rockpile in Plymouth at Saturday's performance.
We had a few chapters come to an end this week, but a lot of doors open as West Noble schools work into the middle of October. Ligonier and Sparta Fire both visited West Noble Elementary, Applied Skills visited Ultrazone, sports continued sporting and nature continued to be beautiful.
It's a great day to be a Charger!
It was a very good draw for West Noble football on Sunday night for the IHSAA football sectional tournament.
West Noble (6-2) drew Fort Wayne Concordia (1-7) in a home game in the first round of the Class 3-A Sectional 26 bracket, set to begin on Oct. 24. A West Noble win would have the Chargers either home against Angola in the semi-finals, or on the road at Tippecanoe Valley depending on which team wins between the Hornets or Vikings.
The sectional championship is set for Nov. 7, and could host depending on the opponent from the north half of the bracket.
The Chargers close out the regular season this Friday, Oct. 17, hosting Prairie Heights on Senior Night.
