Band at Flag Football Game

Last Friday, the Marching Spartans gathered together for the first time in over a year! They had a quick rehearsal and played some great stand tunes at the flag football game! So good to see them together again! You can see photos on the Media Page.

Ms. Munday’s News & Notes…

Bravo to the music students for a wonderful Festival Radio Broadcast Concert last night! It’s amazing to think that all the students have created beautiful music without seeing or playing their instruments together.

Special shout outs go to Sydney W. for her great composition, A Promise of Tomorrow and to Henry T. for his arrangement of Bud on the Ledge and his editing of the performances.

Let’s hope that our world will continue to safely open and that we will be able to play music together as soon as possible!

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Junior LCHS Band student, Henry T., participated in a virtual band in Dublin, Ireland.

The performance was broadcast on television in Ireland on St. Patrick’s Day. Check out the video.

Ms. Munday’s News & Notes…

So much happening right now! LCHS is opening up to in-person teaching on April 13th, and that means that Orchestra is back to in-person playing with a few modifications, such as one student to a music stand, distanced at 6 feet apart, and masked. I am looking forward to seeing as many students as possible! On Google Classroom, there is an Orchestra schedule so that you can see what days your student would be at school and also what they would be doing on their remote learning days.

Next Saturday is the broadcast of our Spring Festival Concert. So much care has gone into these performances, and I know you will be as proud of the students as I am when you listen to what they have made!

Have a wonderful week!
