All members must be measured for the new uniforms on Thursday, April 30 beginning at 4 pm in the band room.  Students may leave as soon as they are measured (first come, first served).  A $60 deposit for the uniform will be due on that date.  Checks should be payable made to LSHS Band, and may be post-dated for as late as May 5.  This deposit will reserve your spot on the guard, and will ensure that we receive the uniforms before the first game.

Prospective Marching Band Students and Parents to Meet

The 2015-16 edition of the LSHS Roaring Lion Marching Band will have its initial meeting on Thursday, April 16 at 6:30 in the LSHS Theater.  All interested students and parents are invited to attend.  At this presentation, you will be informed of band camp dates and times, the new rehearsal schedule for the year, the Band Booster Organization, and fees and due dates.  Those trying out for the Color Guard are also expected to attend.  You will also be given information about the upcoming trip!  You definitely won't want to miss this!!!

By attending, you are not obligating yourself in any way.  The hope is to answer any questions you may have, and to prevent any misunderstandings for the future. 

I look forward to seeing you there!
