THANK YOU TO ALL OUR TRIP CHAPERONES AND TRIP CO-COORDINATORS,  John Trygier and Carol Sparks!  We had an amazing trip to the Rose Parade!  Luggage and instrument trucks returned mid-last week and almost every piece of luggage, MB shoes, and summer uniform was picked up Thursday evening.  If you do not yet have your luggage, drillmasters, or summer uniform back, please check the band room right away. 

Many Rose Parade photos and videos are available!  Check these 3 places for photos:

1)      Lakota West Bands Facebook page

2)      Band Flicker page – our photographers continue to upload photos so new ones are showing up! (go to upper right corner of band web page – click on LATEST PHOTOS).

3)      Jolesch Enterprises, the official parade photographer, has photos taken at the Rose Stadium, during the parade, at bandfest, etc. available for sale at http://www.joleschenterprises.com Click on the Tournament of Roses banner and then go to “My Category” and on the drop down bar, find Lakota West High School.  This is where you will find the individual and group photos taken by the Rose Stadium.  Any orders made would be in addition to the pre-orders taken by LW Upbeat in December.

Solo and Ensemble is coming up on February 14 and is hosted by Lakota West for all of District XIII schools.  Please mark this date on your calendars to volunteer as a room monitor or check-in, runner, concessions sales, etc.  We need many volunteers to host a great Solo and Ensemble.   Sign-ups via Sign-up Genius coming soon.
