School Registration for Marching Band and Guard

Aug 2, 2018 | Color Guard, HS Band, Parents

Due to band camp, the Marching Band and Color Guard will do their school registration for classes on Monday, August 13th at 9am. Please check the high school website for all the forms necessary.

You’ll be able to pay, turn in forms, get your schedule, pick-up textbooks, and speak to a counselor, if necessary.

We’re not sure yet if the photographer will be present for pictures and IDs, but if not, your student can take care of that on make-up picture day which is scheduled for August 30th.

Mr. Lyons, the Assistant High School Principal, is handling registration this year. If you have any additional questions or concerns, please contact him.

Program Registration Etc.

Jul 29, 2018 | Color Guard, Fundraising, HS Band, Parents

In the Student Handbook you will find all the information needed for the entire year regarding grading, performances, and needed donations. Please read through the entire handbook so you know what we expect, and then fill out and sign the Handbook Agreement Form. You will need to bring this along with the Field Trip Form to Band Workshops no later than August 2nd.

All registration links and donation forms are online for Marching Band and Color Guard. Please feel free to donate with a credit card or a check. You can also ask for financial assistance on the form as well. If you are paying by check, you can bring that in with your paperwork, payable to “LCHS MPA.”

All parents/guardians of Marching Band and Color Guard students should fill out the online registration form. This information will serve as our database to contact and inform you throughout the year.

Transportation donations for band and color guard are now given to the MPA. If you play a sport, then you need to pay into ASB’s transportation donation. Please do not pay ASB for the Band and Color Guard’s transportation donation.

The registration form lays out the needed financial support to make our program work. The Instrumental Music program receives no district funding and we rely heavily on your generous hearts and keen investment in your child’s musical experience.

We will be having a collection table by the senior parking lot to help collect all the paperwork and donation checks beginning Monday, July 31st at 11am. Please make all donation checks payable to “LCHS MPA.”
