Odessa Marching Festival
(See attached file: Odessa Marching Invitational.pdf)
Marching Band Parents,
We hope to see you at the Odessa Marching Festival on Saturday, October 18th. The school’s address is 713 S. 3rd Street, Odessa, MO 64076.
We have attached a map of the campus. Spectator parking is in the lot on the north side of the school near 3rd Street and Phillips Street. There will not be room to park with the band. We will not know the exact location for the band’s campsite until we arrive. The campsite will be in the “bus” parking lots west of 5th Street and College Street.
Please e-mail Mary Grigsby (marygrigsby) with a headcount if you plan to eat dinner with the band (do not include your LSW band student in the count). We are having potato soup and chili. The cost is $7 per adult and $5 for middle school age kids and younger. If you have special dietary needs, please contact Mary. Food may be available for “Walk-ins” on Saturday after the band and those that e-mailed Mary have been served.
There is an admission charge to watch the performance from the stands. The charge will be $8.00 for adults and $5.00 for seniors and students (age 6 through 18). Children 5 years old and under are free.
Please take pictures. We need pictures to share during the end of the season banquet. Thank you again for not parking in the driveway near the band doors during loading and unloading. As always, we can use lots of help loading and unloading. We will be loading the majority of the equipment on Friday immediately after school at noon.
Thank you,
Scott McMilian
Fall Concert Tomorrow
Good Afternoon!
I am in need of just a few volunteers who can help decorate the stage for tomorrow evening’s choir concert.
This shouldn’t take very long, and the school has the decorations, but I’ve injured both my spine and my foot, and I am not getting around very well!
The stage is available to use between 1:30 pm – 5:00 pm, and I am leaning more toward the 1:30 start time if I can gather enough helpers.
If you can help please just reply with your name, cell number, and availability.
Thank you!

New Uniforms Unveiled Last Night
With lots of help from a great group of parent and student volunteers, we were able to get our new uniforms off a UPS truck and onto the field in a few hours! We weren’t even slowed down by a little rain.
Band members put in a few extra hours “on the clock” to get fitted for the new uniforms. Irons and ironing boards circled the band room so we could get the pants and sleeves creased and looking sharp.
Thanks to the support of the LSW administration, LSW Music Parents and the LSR7 school district, we’re excited to start the next chapter in the Titan Pride Bands with our new uniforms from FJM!

Orchestra Concert Tonight : Information
Hello Parents and Students:
We are going to give a GREAT concert tonight. Please come and support the students in their first concert effort of the season. I will NOT talk very much as we want to bring the concert in at 1 hour or less 🙂
The CONCERT ORCHESTRA reports to the music room at 6:30
The PHILHARMONIC AND SYMPHONY orchestras report to music room at 6:50
ALL STUDENTS ARE TO REPORT 5 MINUTES EARLY AND IN FULL UNIFORM WITH INSTRUMENTS AND MUSIC. LEAVE CASES IN YOUR LOCKER.
There will be a section of the seating reserved for the orchestra members to watch the other orchestras perform. Part of your grade is staying to see all orchestras perform.
The concert will begin at 7pm in the PAC.
See you there!
