2. REMINDER: Concert and Symphonic Band Spring Trip: The second payment of $250 is due no later than 11/15.  Checks made payable to LRHS Bands can be sent to school with your student and placed in the band room safe or turned in at the bands club meeting on the 15th. Payments can also be made via PayPal:  

Making Payments via PayPal

A few people have asked about whether it is still possible to sign up for the trip.  All trip commitment forms and the first two trip payments must be turned in/paid by the November 15 deadline; the trip organizers are finalizing the details and students cannot be added to the trip after that date.

Questions regarding the trip commitment forms or the trip in general can be directed to either a) Kristi Phillips (Ksphillips136@gmail.com) or b) Melanie Shoffner (mbshoffner620@gmail.com).
