Concordia College Band / LHS Symphonic Band Joint Concert

Posted December 17th, 2009 in Bandparents' Note, News by Leon Olson

The Concordia College Band will be visiting Sioux Falls on Saturday, February 6, 2010.  They will be playing a joint concert with the LHS Symphonic Band that evening at LHS. 

We will be feeding the Concordia Band that evening and providing housing Saturday night.  LHS band students have already been requested by the Carlsons to let them know who can house students.  If you have not been asked by your son or daughter and can help by housing one or more Concordia students Saturday night, please let the Carlsons know.
 
The tentative plan for feeding the Concordia Band is to have a potluck meal at LHS with students from both bands.  More on that later.
 
The Concordia Band is and excellent band and the LHS Symphonic Band will be one week away from performing at Bandmasters in Brookings, so it should be a great concert – be sure and put it on your calendar now.

Thank-You from Kathy Waters

Posted November 17th, 2009 in Bandparents' Note by Eric Knutson

I can’t begin to put into words how blessed I feel to have been a part of this organization. I began as a ‘clueless’ freshman parent 10 years ago. And I mean clueless. I remember taking a lawn chair with me to Joe’s first competition in Marshall. I looked just a little ridiculous carrying it through the gates. I’m sure people wondered what I was going to do with it. And I was almost afraid of some of the band parents that seemed almost cult like! Yes, freshman parents, be honest, that thought has crossed your mind! Oh, and I was so musically challenged I commented to my kids once in the dome that someone else was playing the same song they do, to which my kids burst out laughing, telling me, “Mom, those are scales!” But it didn’t take long to realize this was a wonderful family atmosphere for my own family to have great experiences and to be a part of something bigger than life. Culminating with one of the best birthdays I’ve ever had, when my band kids and family sang Happy Birthday to me Monday night. And hearing Ave Maria one last time. Thank you Seniors. (more…)
