WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MARCHING BAND AND COLOR GUARD

This pdf is a slightly altered version of Mr. Stone’s May 17, 2021 Parent Information session and Show Reveal presentation. The content has been modified with parents in mind, providing clarity where needed. It will be updated as suggested fixes are made. We hope this helps in your understanding of what Marching Band season and beyond looks like at LCHS.
