Band Families,

Happy Music in Our Schools Month! Each year, March is set aside to celebrate the wonderful opportunities music brings within schools. It is fitting that we have concerts celebrating the students artistry, growth, and dedication to music. Here is some more information on our performances this month.

Lettering
It’s not too early to start recording your lettering points. Students can letter in band! In the past most points were earned attending pep band games, but many students have been earning points by attending outside concerts or volunteering for band/booster events. You can find the lettering form on  lnhspantherband.com/resources. Lettering forms are due Friday, May 2.

Be Bold, Be Brave, Be Kind,
