Fine Arts Festival Concert Information
It’s hard to believe it is almost Thanksgiving! We wanted to take a moment to send out some information about our next concert. Our next concert is our Lovejoy Fine Arts Festival on Saturday, December 5, 2015. The Lovejoy Fine Arts Festival showcases excellence in our K-12 performing and visual art programs. Each year our performing arts groups provide concerts, theatre programs and dance reviews while the visual art programs set up art galleries and working studios.

Boy's Shirt Exchange
Orchestra boys are required to wear pleated wing tip tuxedo shirts during their performances. The average shirt is only worn twice a year! The shirt typically costs $30.00.
Since our boys grow quickly, shirts are purchased almost every year. This venue will give you an opportunity to sell, buy, or donate a gently used shirt! If you are selling the shirt, list the price and size including youth/adult size. If you find a shirt you want, please contact the parent below to make the transaction. ONCE YOU'VE SOLD YOUR SHIRT, EDIT YOUR ENTRY AS SOLD.
If you are donating a shirt to the Lovejoy Booster Club, please send the shirt to your Orchestra teacher and I will make them available on this site. Your child will receive a form for your donation.
Thanks for participating in recycling our shirts!
