Families of Wind Symphony Students |

Application has been made to perform at two events in February 2016.
The first event would be a performance at the Kentucky Music Educators Association Conference February 3-6, 2016.
The second event would be February 18-20, 2016 at the National Band Association/College Band Directors National Conference in Charleston, SC.
This would be 2-3 night travel opportunity. The last time we have taken a spring overnight concert trip was 1998.
Though we have not been confirmed for performance at either event, it is best to plan. The KMEA Conference does not require much logistical planning. The NBA conference will have an additional cost beyond current LBA payments. The total cost per student is estimated to be approximately $600 divided into three payments from September 2015 to February 2016. Upon confirmation of our performance additional information will obviously be provided.
Questions need to be directed to chuck.smith@fayette.kyschools.us or call 859-396-3311. |

BINGO – LBA’s Year-Round Fundraiser |
|
|
Fundraising is crucial to support the Lafayette Band and its activities. All of the fundraising efforts we engage in are important but Bingo (a year round fundraiser) does not require you to purchase items or sell items to your neighbors, co-workers, and family.
Bingo only requires your time. Each night (Tuesday and Thursday) a staff of 12-15 volunteers are needed to run a successful Bingo session. The profits raised for the Lafayette Band each night are dependent upon a full staff of volunteers. Our Bingo patrons want to give us their money!
We ask that each family volunteer 12 times per year at Bingo. Please find a Tuesday or Thursday this summer and come to the Bingo Hall in Keithshire Shopping Center at 6:00 pm. You will meet some great parents and support the band’s fundraising efforts. |
