Hello LPMS Band Families,

Final reminder: Today is our Butter Braid fundraiser pick up. If your child sold butter braids for this fundraiser, your order can be picked up between 2:30 and 6:30 this afternoon/evening at the LPMS Cafeteria. We should have everything sorted by the end of the school day, so it would be possible for your child to grab their order right after school if that works for them/you.

Take care!

Mr. Gornick

This message is for the families of any 8th Grader who will be doing Marching Band at West this fall.

We know that you already have the Marching Band Mini-Camp on your calendar for this Sunday, but here is a final reminder that Mrs. Granzow asked that we pass along.

"Sunday is Marching Band Mini Camp at West! All percussionists, color guard, and any new marching member needs to arrive by 1:30 pm. Please make sure to bring your music (percussion only), instrument, comfortable shoes for marching, water, sunscreen, and a pencil! Afterwards, there will be an all family meeting from 5:30-6:15 pm in the auditorium.

If you cannot make it for whatever reason, please contact me at [email protected] as soon as possible.

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!"

-Mrs. Granzow

Woodwinds and brass students will receive copies of their music at the Mini Camp on Sunday. Only percussionists will have music that they need to bring on Sunday.

Have an amazing time at Mini-Camp this Sunday. You will have such a rewarding experience being a part of the Marching Band this coming year!

Please contact Mrs. Granzow right away with any questions.

Sincerely,

Mr. Gornick

Congratulations to all of the LPMS Band students who performed at the WSMA District Solo Ensemble Festival at Waukesha West HS on Saturday

LPMS Band students earned thirty-four I (one) ratings, and six II (two) ratings.

WSMA describes these ratings in the following way:

I - A consistently outstanding performance in all areas.

II - A very good performance with only minor issues.

Well done LPMS Band members! And more important than the scores is how much you grew as musicians and as people because of the work that you put into this long term project.

Keep making music, and keep working hard! We can't wait to see where all of you are as musicians at this time next year.
