Band  

Dear families/band supporters,

 

Welcome to the LCA band webpage! We are excited about what the Lord is doing with LCA this year and

look forward to a great year.

 

2007‐2008: This year we will be offering a beginning and intermediate band class during school that is

opened to middle school and high school. Beginning band will be held 2nd period and Intermediate band

will be held 6th period. Intermediate band is open to any student with 6 or more months of experience.

That schedule begins with the second nine weeks of school.

 

Our extracurricular program has greatly expanded! We now have a Sr. and Jr. Drumline group as well as

Color guard added to our auxiliary. The “Marching Lions” will include the Sr. Drumline and the auxiliary

and will perform at half‐time during football season home games. This group of students has already

been hard at work during our first ever Band camp held in July. Mrs. Perry will direct the auxiliary

group. I will direct the drumline group and be greatly assisted with the addition of Kyle McCarthy, our

percussion instructor. During basketball season, we will enjoy half‐time with both the Sr. Drumline and

the Jr. Drumline. Remember “HALF‐TIME IS GAME TIME”!

As we grow I will post information regarding concerts, links, events, etc. on this webpage. I will also post

ways that you can support and help grow the band program. You will notice below a list of “band items

needed”. If you would like to purchase one or more of these items (or contribute toward) please

contact me.

 

Special note to sponsors: If you wish to purchase an item(s) we will be happy to post support for your

business on the website!

 

USED INSTRUMENTS WELCOME: If you have contacts with H.S. or middle school programs who are

upgrading their equipment please let us know. This is a great opportunity for us to procure necessary

items for band. Being a new program we are in need of instruments, music, equipment, etc.

Also…check your closets!!! Do you have an old trumpet or saxophone or flute, etc. that is collecting

dust. If you are unable to join us in the pep band we would welcome your previously enjoyed

instruments.

 

Thank you for the blessing of working with your students. I welcome your thoughts and participation

and certainly covet your prayers.

 

Serving Him Together,
