They will perform at PCR and then PCY. At approximately 11:30am the students will have a pizza lunch in Memorial Park. We would appreciate donations of fruit (cuties, apples, etc.), paper plates, napkins, and cookies. We will also need several parents to help serve the lunch in the park. Please contact Sandy Miller if you are available to help or willing to donate.
After lunch, the students will load the bus and travel to LCE to perform. After the last performance, the students will return to LCHS, unload the bus, and be dismissed for the day.

Mar 11, 2019 | Parents, Volunteers
Each year we host a Festival for our students as well as students from the surrounding area.
At Festival, each group performs selected pieces and sight reading for several judges. The judges give them comments and a rating. It’s a great learning and performance experience for the students and their directors.
This year we will have 14 area schools coming to our campus to perform at Festival. The MPA will host a snack stand for the students to purchase snacks and drinks.
Volunteer
We need several helpers to get us set up on Friday morning, 7:30am-9am. Please consider helping… Many hands make for light work. Please let Cecilia Cheng know if you would like to help.
Donations
Sign Up to Donate Food Items to Snack Stand
Please consider helping in one way or another… The snack stand benefits the Instrumental Music Program, and the visiting school really enjoy the snacks (really, really enjoy the snacks!).
If you have questions, please contact Cecilia Cheng.
