2. Hospitality Request – Winter Concert Reception
We are all excited for the LRHS Bands’ winter concerts next week. Following each concert is a reception for the students, families, and our guests to celebrate the students’ hard work. We need two things from each band family to make these receptions following the concerts happen…
- Each family is asked to bring a tray of cookies, brownies, or something else that can be eaten easily by hand without a utensil. At least one dozen goodies and items can be homemade or purchased. It helps us if your items are already on a serving dish. Simply drop off your item on the way into the concert and then take it home with you when you leave. (Any leftover goodies will be brought to the band studio for the students to enjoy the next school day.)
- We need volunteers to help with their students’ band reception. You will not miss any of your students’ concerts. If you are willing to help us out please use the link below.
- If your student is in Intermediate/Concert Band – Volunteer & Goodies Sign up for Thursday December 15th at this link:

- If your student is in Symphonic Band – Volunteer & Goodies Sign up for Friday December 16th at this link:
