This year we will be offering a 7/8 Color Guard! If you know of a 7/8 student who is interested, please invite them! They don’t have to be a current member of any of our groups, so bring a friend!
All students (boys and girls) interested will meet from 3:30pm to 4:30pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We’ll gather in the band room and move to a practice location.
Any questions? Please contact Mr. Stone.(jstone@lcusd.net)

Registration
Click for Online Registration
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 request financial assistance on the form as well. If you are paying by check, you can bring that with your paperwork. Make all checks payable to, “LCHS MPA.”
All parents/guardians of Marching Band and Color Guard students should fill out the form. The 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 Band and Color Guard’s transportation donation.
The donation sheet lays out the needed financial support to make our program work. The Instrumental Music program receives minimal 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 Auditorium to help collect all the paperwork and donation checks beginning Monday, July 29th at 12:45pm. Please make all donation checks payable to “LCHS MPA.”
Handbook
- Please read: it has all the info and program requirements that you will want to know including grading, performances, and needed donations.
- Please complete, sign, and return the Handbook Agreement Form.
- Please put all the dates on your calendar — all the football games, concerts, competitions, etc. are on that list for the 2019-20 school year.
Field Trip Form
- Please complete, sign, and return.
- We will need an original signature on this form.
Note: The Handbook form and the Field trip form can be dropped off to Sandy at the District Office anytime Monday through Thursday from about 7:30am to about 4pm from now until July 29th. If not, please bring them the first day of workshops! We leave for Band Camp on July 31st, so there’s not much time to remember when we return.
Volunteers Needed in July
Uniform Fittings
Due to the uniforms not being back from the summer cleaning, we will fit uniforms prior to evening rehearsals on August 13th, 15th, and 20th.
Band Camp
We will need two bus riders and a shuttle driver to get the students to Band Camp at Cal Poly Pomona on Wednesday, July 31st. The shuttle driver will need to follow the buses to Band Camp and then bring the bus riders and truck driver back to LCHS. We will leave at 9am on Wednesday, July 31st, and return around 11:30am. The shuttle driver should have a car/van that seats an additional four adults.
Note: We NEED a shuttle driver and bus riders TO band camp, and bus riders for the RETURN trip!
We will need the same number of adults on the return trip coming back from Band Camp on Friday, August 2nd. Adults will need to meet at LCHS at 6:30pm, and return to campus around 9pm.
If you have never been to Band Camp, now is the time to check it out and see where your student will be spending their time.
If you are interested in volunteering for one of the above, please let Sandy Miller know.
