Memorial Day Performance- Monday, May 30th
As a reminder, the Lisle Junior High Band has been asked to perform at the Village of Lisle Memorial Day ceremony on Monday, May 30, 2016 at Village Hall. All LJHS band members members are asked to perform for this short ceremony. This event will be a very minimal time commitment- approximately 10:15am until 11:30am. Since school is over before May 30th, we cannot require this performance. We do, however, hope that every student who is in town and available can perform. We will be representing Lisle School District 202, Lisle Junior High School, and the band program. Participation by as many band students as possible is very important.
We need to know by this Friday, April 22nd if your son or daughter is able to play. Please fill out the brief form below to let us know if your son or daughter can play on May 30th. If they have already turned in their blue form, you do not have to fill out the form below.
Spring Concert- Monday, May 23rd
Scholarships- forms due Friday, April 29th
Please consider filling out the scholarship application form that your child received in band last week. Please click the button below to obtain the form. It’s free money! Private instruction is the lifeblood of our band program. Working with a professional musician privately will set your child up for success. They will hone their playing fundamentals and will be able to progress much more quickly on their instruments. There are many instrument-specific skills that simply cannot be taught in a full-band setting. They will be able to learn at their own pace and their private instructor can give them specific advice and practice goals for improvement. We hope to be able to give a scholarship to every student that applies! Scholarships applications are due on Friday, April 29th.
