December 15 Updates

We are very pleased with the performances of both the Concert Band and Symphonic Band on Tuesday night.  This is definitely a step in the right direction in the development of our students' ensembles and their musical progress. If you have concert attire (dresses OR tuxes) that don't fit quite right, they can be taken to 18 Tailor, 104 Forest Avenue, Liberty, MO 64068.  If you take it in, tell them to charge it to LPS and they will know what to do. As far as concert attire goes, it is the expectation that girls will wear all black - including black dress shoes. Boys will need to have a real tuxedo shirt for our performances moving forward. If you have questions, please ask, but please be sure you have what you should for the rest of the year. Please stay on top of the Pep Band schedule and be sure you are present for these performances - they are required as part of being in the LHS Band program. Please enjoy the upcoming break - it's well deserved and needed!...
