May Events


This month, there are a couple of important dates for the music department at LHS.  First of all, the spring music awards banquet is scheduled for Monday, May 7 at 7pm.  Our Spring Concert is slated for Thursday, May 17 at 7:30pm.  In addition to our normal warm up and tune up time, we will be taking photos for the school yearbook at 7:00pm.  All music students are to report to the music room at 6:45pm to set up instruments and get lined up for pictures.  Our concert will feature the junior high bands and choirs, as well as performances from this year’s state music qualifiers.

Baccalaureate services will be held Sunday, May 20 at 8:00pm.  LHS choir members are asked to report at 7:30 to get robes, warm up and be seated.

            Graduation is scheduled for Sunday, May 27.  This year we will have a number of seniors graduating as well as some of our junior class members serving as honor ushers during the ceremony.  As such, we will need the members of the junior high band to plan on performing with the band in the graduation ceremony.  All junior high band members are asked to be present.  Students with older siblings/family members who are graduating will be able to sit with family during the ceremony.  They are only needed for the processional and recessional at the beginning and end of the proceedings.

            Thank you for your help in achieving a successful end of the year!
