Spring Trip Meeting (Final)
There will be a FINAL Spring Trip Meeting for all students and parents on Thursday night, March 9th, at 6:30 pm. The meeting will take place in the LEHS Band Hall. We hope everyone can attend.
At this time, everyone should have received an email stating that you can create an account online at NCL.com. There are three ways your child can spend money on the cruise ship, should they choose to do so:
1. Students may bring cash for their onboard account.
2) Students may bring a credit card to setup onboard account.
3) Parents may allocate funds on the online account with a credit card in advance. If funds are leftover and not spent, they will be returned to the credit card.
Outstanding Percussion Performances @ Forney
The way the percussion contest works is that each piece, not ensemble, competes against all other pieces in the same category. All three of our pieces competed in the "Large" ensemble category, meaning the membership consisted of six or more performers. We performed three pieces. Here is how they placed:
(There were 17 ensembles in the "Large" category)
Donner - PE I - 4th
Apple Blossom - PE II - 6th
Spun - PE I - 10th
Out of all 30 ensembles that competed today, Donner came in 9th overall. With raving reviews from the judges, we are very proud of these students! Last year our two pieces came in 7th and 10th out of 13, so this was a great improvement!
Congratulations!
Mr. Blezinger
