Marching Band
We held our Rookie Meeting last week for families new to our Marching Band program! If you weren’t able to make it, NO problem! The information you need to know will be shared as it’s needed. Our uniform team will also make sure all students get measured.
For now, make sure you are getting/staying connected by referencing THIS FORM.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at LWUpbeat@gmail.com.
Volunteers
We’re still looking to build our Photography team. The Lakota West Bands photography team is looking to expand, amateurs welcome. Email your interest or questions to photos@lakotawestbands.org or reach each out to Jenni Kershaw.
The Upbeat Club has several open lead positions. HELP US BUILD OUR BAND FAMILY! Reach out to president@lakotawestbands.org for a list of available positions, to express interest or to find out how to get connected in any area. Grab a friend and do it together. We’re also looking for shadows for a lot of our positions which will be filled by senior parents, what better way to learn the ropes than by someone who is currently doing it? Whether you have a specific role in mind or know you want to get involved but don’t know where or how, reach out and we’d LOVE to chat with you to help you figure it out.
