It’s time! Less than two weeks and we’re off to Clovis for Championships. Your students have been working hard and are amazing! You should be very proud of all they have accomplished!
The tentative itinerary is now available. Please click and take a look. We’re still in the process of finalizing all the little details and times, but this is the basic guideline. The next email will be on Monday, November 13th and we’ll have it all together.
- When you drop your student off at school on Friday, November 17th, they must come with all of their luggage ready for Clovis. Everything will be stored in the back room during the school day and the room will be locked.
- Immediately after school, the students will be on the field for one last marching rehearsal. This is an important rehearsal for fine-tuning and mental preparations.
- At 5:30pm, the students will change into full uniform for the Friends & Family Show. Please join us at the field at 6pm for the final home performance of “Rapunzel.” You don’t want to miss it!
- After the show, there will be a brief time for photos and visiting, and then the students will load the truck, have dinner provided by the MPA, and load the buses for our trip to Clovis.
Please review the itinerary for further details.
We are planning to arrive back at LCHS on Sunday around 7:30pm. We will send updated arrival info when we depart Clovis, and as always, the truck will need to be unloaded and the props properly stored before the Thanksgiving Break.
It’s an exciting, fun time for the students and we’re looking forward to a great trip.
