Weekly Band Announcements, May 14th, 2023
Seniors,
“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” ― Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!
This will be the last weekly announcement that you will receive as members of the LHS Band. You are now ALUMNI! It is our hope that you continue to love music and keep it an important part of your life. Thank you for your dedication and service to the Wolverine Band this year and making memories of a lifetime. We also hope you continue to support and advocate for the LHS Band and Music Education. Thank you all for what you have done to help the band move forward and if you need anything don't hesitate to ask! Remember to keep your heart sincere and your pathway straight.
We will have our May Mini Band Camp this week:
Interested in joining the LaVergne Wolverine Marching Band in the Fall? Grade 9-12 for the 2023-2024 year is eligible to participate. Students will have the opportunity to learn how to march, hold their instrument while marching, learn stand tunes, show music that will be played during next football season, meet current band members, and build friendships. If you have ever wondered what we do, come see for yourself. We hope to see you all there!
Summer Band camp will be the last two full weeks of July. These days are required to have a spot on the field as we write drill formation and learn most of our show.

Seniors who still owe dues at the end of the school year are placed on the Senior Delinquency List. We do not want this affecting any of you. Again, if you have any questions, please see Mr. Callahan ASAP!
I’ll be emailing parents this week regarding Carnegie Hall performance for next year.

Ways of Communication
We communicate to parents and students through several avenues. One doesn’t have to have access to all of the avenues to get the information.
Band App - A quick and easy way for parents or students to communicate is to send a text directly to a director.
Make sure to email Mr. Callahan (callahanr@rcschools.net) if you have any questions!
