Join Us at our 20th Annual Hot Notes Event!
This much-loved, long-standing tradition celebrates and supports the high-quality band, choir, dance, guitar, jazz, orchestra, and theatre programs at Southwest High School.
It's the best party-and biggest fundraiser-of the year!
Most importantly, come see our performing arts students shine on stage. Over the years, we have funded new choir risers, band and guitar instruments, a marley dance floor, musical licenses, costumes, guest artists, theatre sets, and more. Whether you are a current Southwest family, a friend of the community, or a Southwest alum family, we hope you can join us in celebrating 20 years of excellence in the arts.
