- Congratulations to the Red and White Symphonic Bands and to Symphonic Winds. All three bands earned the Superior Rating at the OMEA State Large Group Adjudicated Event held on Friday night at Lakota East Freshman School. Lakota West is the only high school in Ohio to have two Class A bands and one Class AA band that earn the right to perform at the State level. That all three ensembles earn the top rating is a testament to the extremely high performance standards that are maintained at Lakota West.
- The Freshman Spring Concert is coming soon (23 calendar days away). It is scheduled for Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 7:00 pm. This concert is one of the highlights of our year. Both Freshman bands will perform followed by a performance by the combined Freshman Bands (105) members. You will not want to miss this performance.
- Final Quarterly playing exams will occur after our Spring Concert. The exact date of the exam will be announced as soon as it is announced for the school. The students have to play the Circle of 4ths from memory. This is something that they have known about since the beginning of the school year and that we have been working towards all year. Hopefully, everyone has learned these scales and everyone will play brilliantly.
- The new marching band uniforms arrived last week and they are stunning. We are really looking forward to the new marching band season and our trip to New York City and the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. It’s less than 7 months away…
That’s it for this week.
