Lakota West Band Updates: February 6

Ensemble Recital Night is Monday, February 6^th from 6pm-8pm at the High School. All High School Ensembles will perform on for the Ensemble Recital night. Look for more information from Mr. Carr. This is not an ideal setting for friends and family to come and listen, as some of the ensembles will be in small practice rooms. The objective is to get used to performing and gain valuable feedback from a music educator.
Solo and Ensemble is Saturday, February 11^th at Lakota West High School. Please click here to sign up to volunteer and support our students. As of today, there are over 200 slots left to fill. Please thoughtfully consider volunteering for a 2 hour time slot during Solo and Ensemble. We have over 800 events in 18 performance rooms to support! Service hours are available for students at the office on completion of their shift.

February’s meeting is Thursday 2/16 at Lakota West High School starting at 6:30pm with the Directors’ update, and 7pm for the Upbeat Club regular meeting. All parents with band students in grades 7-12 are welcome and encouraged to join. We look forward to hearing more about the progress of our future trips during the next Director’s update. You can enter through the band room but the meeting will take place in the choir room.

Jazz’ n Cakes will have a kickoff meeting on Thursday February 9^th at 7:15pm at Uno’s in their private room. All those interested are welcome to attend. If you have any questions, please text or call Kevin Moorman at 513 604-2997.
