Fw: Announcement for the band

Dear LHS Marching Band Parents,

On Wednesday, September 12th, the following students will be singing the National Anthem at the Colorado Rockies game and then coming back to LHS for the Evening Marching Band Rehearsal.  We need parent drivers to provide carpools for these kids from Coors Field to LHS after they sing at approximately 6:25 p.m.  They will all be traveling to Coors Field on the choir buses.  I can pay for your parking at Coors Field.  If you arrive prior to 5:30 p.m. you could even go in and watch the kids sing for free.  Henry Lodewyk has volunteered to be one of the drivers.  We need at least 2 more, if not 3 more drivers.  Please send me an e-mail at jfarrell@lps.k12.co.us if you can help.  Thank you.

REMINDER - WE STILL NEED PEOPLE FOR TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY)


Music and Arts Rental nights fundraiser!

We are still in need of parent volunteers to help with this, which will continue to raise funds for marching band.  Mr. Emmons would very much appreciate it if all parents help at least once.  Any additional nights that people can manage will greatly benefit the band.
