Dear Parents,

Welcome to this exciting activity we call band! We are proud to offer such a great program to our students here at Lakota East.

At Lakota East, our bands have consistently earned superior ratings at every adjudicated event in which they have performed. This is not by luck, but by hard work, and dedication on the part of the students, directors, administrators, and parents. Without one of the four, any program would fall apart.

How can you help our program? You can help by being a part of a booster committee, a fundraising activity, chaperoning at a competition or football game, or just volunteering for something you enjoy doing that will help our students’ musical growth. Even if your busy schedule only permits you to attend our concerts or contests that would be a wonderful way of supporting our bands. There is no better feeling than playing for a full house!

These next few years will probably be the most memorable ones your child will have and the band will play a big part in these memories. The band is like a big happy (most of the time) family. The closest friends your son or daughter will have might be a part of the band. You as a parent can make the memories even more special by being a part of the Lakota East Upbeat Club (believe it or not, the kids still like having you around!)

Welcome to our future! We can’t wait to see you at the next event!
