Hello, band parents!

This Monday, June 15th, will be the start of another week of band camp. Camp runs from 9:00-3:30 each day (M-F) at Euclid Middle School. The first week of camp was very successful and the progress the students are making each day is phenomenal!

Saturday, June 20th, there is a carwash fundraiser scheduled from 8:30-2:00 for the students and we are hoping to add one more additional carwash later in the summer. However, since we are not able to be at Littleton High School this summer, the logistics of making this happen are a bit challenging. We still need to secure a location (with access to water) and organize the equipment and supplies needed for the day. If anyone would be willing to take the lead in organizing this, it would be greatly appreciated. Please contact Karla Elliott at kelliott@lps.k12.co.us if you can help. This is a wonderful way for the kids to earn money for their Encore accounts so hopefully we can find a way to once again offer this opportunity to the students this summer.

Mr. Emmons would like to send a huge, huge, Thank You to all of the parents who were at our recent Band Parent Work Day this past Saturday, June 6th. Our LHS "Lion Pride" Band Parents took care of many projects that really needed to be done to allow our rehearsals to proceed efficiently and effectively in these upcoming weeks. He really appreciates your active support of the LHS "Lion Pride" Marching Band program and looks forward to seeing you throughout this upcoming Marching Band season.

For those students that ordered Drums Along the Rockies tickets, they need to be paid for and picked up this week. Attached is a list of the tickets ordered and the status of those orders. Please let Mr. Emmons know about any adjustments to this list immediately!

Lastly, the LHS Lion Pride Marching Band Website has recently been updated. The Schedule tab now lists the current schedule for the 2015 marching season, and the Downloads tab has an updated Band Parent Organizational Chart as well as an updated Band Parent Handbook. This is a great resource with a lot of helpful information! Please take a moment to check it out: www.lionpridemarchingband.org
