On Wednesday, January 13th, the School Board voted to suspend in-person athletic conditioning until further notice. This was done from recommendations from the LA County Department of Health.
Our Winter Guard and Drum Line in-person rehearsals fall under the athletic conditioning umbrella, so we will be suspending those rehearsals until further action from the School Board.
Thanks for your patience in this effort to keep everyone safe and healthy. We hope to be back in-person soon!

7/8 Drumline begins this week!
Schedule for Tuesdays and Thursdays:
Oct 19, 2020 | Advanced Orchestra, Color Guard, HS Band, Rehearsals
UPDATED INFO:
Thank you all for your patience in trying to restart our in person regular rehearsals in small cohorts.
On Friday, the LCHS administration asked me to hold as the LA County Department of Health may be issuing changes that would effect the ability to hold these small cohort gatherings.
As more information is available, we will be reaching out to everyone for a large information meeting to present the protocols for rehearsals and answer any questions.
Thanks again for your patience as we try to navigate this situation.

October 12th starts the opening of conditioning and training for many of our teams on campus. In discussing this with our LCHS administration team, here are the highlights:
- One coach/instructor per 10 students is considered a cohort
- Coach/Instructor can only work with one cohort
- Students are to be in one cohort only
- Training to take place outside. No access to the interior of buildings.
- There is a waiver to sign and health protocols in place each time the cohort comes onto campus to train.
What does that mean for Instrumental Music Programs?!?
As long as we follow the protocols and all students remain in masks while in a rehearsal, we can meet in-person, outdoors in small groups for those students and parents who are comfortable with in-person rehearsals.
Wind players playing their instruments is still not allowed at this time.
We will be assessing this new system this week and come up with a plan for the Instrumental Program groups that can meet (Drum Line, Color Guard, Orchestra).
Please be patient with us as we discuss the protocols that need to be in place to keep staff and students safe. We will have a plan soon. Once we have a plan, we will have a mandatory meeting for all parents and students to go over the plan and answer any questions.
Thanks again for your patience!

Welcome back!
Here we are… It’s August and school starts in just one week! So, let’s get our season started! We’re moving forward and looking for creative, innovative, and outside-the-box ways to bring our group together to make music and grow friendships. Please keep an open mind, hold your critiques and look for the positive. As with everything these days – things change all the time and we have to roll with it the best we can. It’s not a year to toss away, but one to stretch us out of our comfort zone and learn something new.
Starting Monday, August 10th, Band Camp will run from 3pm to 6pm Monday through Friday – and of course, everything will be online.

In a normal year our marching season would be ready to begin. But it’s 2020 and things just aren’t the same, unfortunately.
We will NOT be having our first week of band camp next week – August 3 through 7. You get one extra week of summer this year!
We will, however, be having some sort of Band Camp the following week of August 10 – 14. We’re not sure yet what Band Camp will look like, but more details will be available next week as soon as we get all the i’s dotted and t’s crossed. Stay tuned!
We will also hopefully have more details about the school year as a whole as it works within the Instrumental Music Program.
Hope you all have been enjoying the summer break and we look forward to doing as much as we can safely and within the District guidelines.
See you soon!
