The past few days of rehearsals at Manitowoc Lutheran HS have been very productive! Part One and Part Two, with drill and music - was performed on the field on Saturday evening at the Manitowoc Exhibition. This week the band will focus on Part Three in preparation for our first two shows of the year. We are VERY excited about the progress and possibilities for our show this year. As you know, we have the best kids in the world!
Here is information for the LVW members and support staff as you prepare for the upcoming rehearsal and performance week.
