Thanks!

Good evening,

Thank you to everyone for coming out and supporting the Ice Cream Social.  It was a record fundraising event.  Please pass along to any friends and family that came a thank you for their support as well.  We met the matching fund donation of $2500 from Modern Woodman of America.  Also a special thank you to all of the volunteers that made this event possible.  I know that we can improve this for next year so if you have constructive criticism/feedback please let me know.

Our Drumline just participated in the Drummit at the Summit and took 1st place in the Gold Division!  Congrats to all of those students, it’s great to see their hard work paying off.

It’s with regret that I announce that our Treasurer has resigned.  As a result the music parents are in need of someone(s) to step up and help with this.  If interested please contact me and we can discuss the position.

I’d like to have a work day for the trailer on Saturday, September 21st, around 9am.  The main reason for this is to figure out the best method for the drumline and the band uniforms and equipment to fit into the trailers.  This will allow the students to pack the trailers quicker after home games for the competitions the next day.

Upcoming dates:
Sept 20 – Home football game
Sept 26 – Homecoming parade
Sept 27 – Homecoming football game
Sept 28 – Park Hill marching festival
Oct 3 – LSWMP meeting

Go Titans!

Middle School Guard Info

Our first rehearsal this Friday evening is from 5-7pm at West. You will need to head to the back of the school by the big white wall (Aux gyms) and look for representatives spinning a flag to let them know where to go in at. Let me know if you have any questions!

Uniform Volunteers needed

Marching Band season is right around the corner, and there are a couple of events where volunteers are needed.
Uniforms will be distributed to students on Monday and Tuesday evenings.  We need about 6 volunteers each evening to assist with the fittings.  No experience is needed, and this is a great opportunity to meet the kids in the band.
Music Parents will have a merchandise table during registration on Wednesday and Thursday. Volunteers are needed to staff the table during this time.

Fireworks

The LSW Music Parent Firework Tent is open for business. The tent is located on the west side of LSW and is open from 7am to 11pm.

There are still several open shifts on July 3rd and 4th. Please consider volunteering if you are available. If you are not able to work at the tent, we would love to see at the tent purchasing fireworks for your holiday fun. We have a huge selection of fantastic fireworks.

If you have volunteered to work at the tent, just show up at the tent at your scheduled time. The previous shift volunteers will give you an overview of everything that you need to know. There is also a binder with all of the written documentation just in case you need it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
