VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

Winter Guard Competition

We are looking for Volunteers and Food Donations for the Winter Guard Competition hosted by Lakota West on Saturday, January 25. Please consider donating and/or volunteering to help at this incredible event!


TRY BAND

We are looking for some help with our Try Band events scheduled for the end of January. These are recruiting events for our 6th graders to register for band in 7th grade.

There are school visits the week of 1/27 as well as an Open House the evening of 1/30.

We are looking for a couple adults (music experience with wind instruments preferred) who can help us in the west-feeder elementary schools, a different school is scheduled for each day during the week of 1/27. We get to meet with 6th grade students to talk about band and allow them to try out “instruments.”  See photo of unit below of what is used for students to try each type of mouthpiece. Dates and locations for these school visits are on our calendar. An updated daily schedule will be included when available.

We also host an Open House for the 6th grade families on 1/30 where we invite families to come and get information from the Jr High Band Directors as well as provide an opportunity for 6th graders to play on real instruments! We need some help with registration. The time is 5:45pm – 9pm.

If you know a 6th grader that you want to invite, please use this flyer so they come to the open house!

Please reach out to communications@lakotawestbands.org for more information.
