To our Program Alumni
Yesterday after a toasty-warm bus ride out to Cal Poly Pomona, the 2018-19 Marching Spartans are at Band Camp!
This year’s Band and Guard has grown! It’s exciting! The field show is Altered Perspectives based on the artwork of Escher. Can’t wait to see how that shapes up and is displayed on the field!
We’re off to a great start! Staff and students will return from Band Camp on Friday, August 10th and the Music Parents will host its annual Family & Friends BBQ (with Grillmaster Dan Yoder doing tri-tip and vegetarian meals).
And, of course, YOU are INVITED! We would love to see our Alumni parents, students and friends!
The BBQ begins serving at 5pm in front of the North Gym and the Preview Show on the LCHS field will begin at approximately 6pm.
Please join us!
If you would like to order a BBQ meal, the cost is $10. Please let Nadia Ali, our special events coordinator, know that you will be coming.
Enjoy the remaining days of summer! Keep in touch!
