The past few days of rehearsals have been very productive, with absolutely gorgeous weather and focused band members. A good part of the opening number has been learned, with drill and music performed – on the field – on Wednesday evening. 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.
PACK A BAG LUNCH for Wednesday, June 24. Rehearsal begins at 10:00 AM at FVL. All other meals will be provided by LVW.
We will be staying in camp host homes for Wednesday night. On Thursday and Friday nights, we will be staying overnight at FVL, and on Saturday night we will be staying at Eastside Lutheran Church and School in Madison, so all staff and LVW members are to pack accordingly.
Remember, you should pack for FIVE days, but try to utilize small suitcases and duffel bags. We are traveling with school buses for this trip (Saturday and Sunday), so space will be very limited.
Rehearsal camp will take place on Wednesday and Thursday morning. We will be leaving Thursday afternoon for the Greendale show, returning to Appleton for Friday, and will leave again on Saturday and Sunday which will culminate at the Oregon Show on Sunday night.
