Equipment Transportation Volunteers needed:  Any volunteers interested in working on options/proposals to improve our equipment transportation situation in a small committee, please contact John Trygier at johntrygier@cinci.rr.com.   One of the band trucks likely requires some very serious work – which is causing us to evaluate what we need to do to make sure we have the necessary marching band transportation for the fall.   We will be seeking and evaluating trailer and/or tractor donation possibilities.

 

Like woodworking?  We have a great problem – too many awards for our display rails in the music hallway!  Volunteer is needed to make and install additional display rails for award plaques.   Please contact Jill Trygier @ president@lakotawestbands.org if you’re interested in this project.
