The first Upbeat Club meeting of the year will be held Tuesday, January 15th at 7:30pm in the Lakota West band room.  We meet the 3rd Tuesday of each month. We are a parent volunteer group that supports all band activities. If you have a student in any band, grades 7-12, you are a member. Come to the meeting and learn more about what we do and how to get more involved.

Saturday February 2nd is the Solo & Ensemble contest at Lakota West HS.  As the sponsoring school we will be looking for many volunteers to make this a great event for all the students participating.  We have many roles to fill so think about taking a shift to make this another great year and this event another successful fundraiser!

The Lakota East and West Upbeat Clubs will be sponsoring Community Conversations, one on 2/5 at 7pm in the Lakota West band room and one on 2/7 at 7pm in the Lakota East band room.  Attend either date that fits in your schedule. We feel it is important as (band) parents to share our perspective and feelings on future changes in Lakota, especially as it relates to music.  Please CLICK HERE to read more on the Community Conversation program or HERE to access the calendar if these dates are not convenient for you.  You can attend any event.
