Mr. Stone’s Thought of the Week…
Good luck to all on your finals! I do hope everyone gets time over the next two weeks to relax, refresh, and enjoy some fun time with friends and family.
For me, I look forward to the times I get to just hang with family and friends with no pressing rehearsals, or meetings, or really anything but fun. Make sure you all carve out some time. See you all on the other side of the holidays and I hope your Holidays are filled with fun and smiles!
Marching Spartans – Disneyland – January 11th
The Marching Band and Guard will be going to Disneyland on Friday, January 11th. The cost is $100. They will be participating in the backstage Soundtrack Session, recording movie cues for Disney films. It’s a great experience that no one should miss.
If your student has funds in their student account, these funds may be applied to the Disneyland costs.
If you prefer to write a check, please make checks payable to “LCHS MPA” and note “Band Disney” with your student’s name on the check. Place in an envelope and put in the black box in the band room.

Poinsettia Sales Update
It’s not the North Star that you are seeing. It is the light at the end of the tunnel. Just a few more poinsettias to sell to benefit the Music Parents Association that helps fund Orchestra, 7/8 Band and Orchestra, Marching Band, Jazz Band, Concert Band, Drumline, and Color Guard. If it weren’t for MPA, the music program as we know it would not exist.
We understand that not everyone can donate financially as they would like, so we provide opportunities for parents to donate their time, which can be just as valuable. Here is the latest Sign Up and your participation is always appreciated.
Marching Band & Guard Championship Refunds
Despite the last-minute cancellation of Championships, we were successful in getting full refunds on lodging and transportation.
Therefore, we will be allocating to each student’s MPA account $200 for those that paid the Championship donation. If you did not pay the donation, your student will not receive an amount in their student account.
The $200 can be used against any fees currently owed or future fees, including next year.
If you have any questions please contact MPA President, Elizabeth Bohannon.
