0 Comments

 
Here is information for the LVW members and support staff as you prepare for the upcoming rehearsal and performance weekend.

PACK A BAG SUPPER for Wednesday, June 26.  Rehearsal begins at 2:00 PM at FVL.  All other meals will be provided by LVW.

We will be staying in camp host homes for Wednesday night. On Thursday, we will be staying overnight at FVL, so all LVW members and staff are to bring overnight gear for that night.

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 (Friday - Sunday), so space will be limited.

Rehearsal camp will take place on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday morning. We will be leaving Friday afternoon for Fort Atkinson and the remainder of our weekend, which will culminate at the Oregon Show on Sunday night.

For the upcoming weekend, LVW will be entering our second weekend of competitive parades and field shows of the 2013 season. Performances this weekend include the following:

Friday, June 28 - MACBDA Field Show at Fort Atkinson HS, 7:30 PM
Saturday, June 29 - Sun Prairie Flags of Freedom Parade (2:00 PM); Field Show at Cardinal Heights Upper MS, 7:30 PM.
Sunday, June 24 - Oregon Summerfest Parade, 12:30 PM; Oregon Field Show, 7:30 PM 

LVW will be housed in the following locations this weekend:
Friday - Lakeside Lutheran HS, Lake Mills
Saturday - Eastside Lutheran Church and School, Madison

Our friends from Lakeside are returning the favor, as they spent the night before the Appleton parade at FVL. Thanks to the Lakeside Warrior Marching Band!

Emergency contact information:
James Neujahr Cell Phone - 920-740-3924
Randy Kramer Cell Phone - 920-242-9835

James Neujahr will be going to Middleton on Saturday following the Sun Prairie parade to see his son Josh and daughter Johanna march with the Colts Drum and Bugle Corps in the Madison Scouts' show.  Therefore, if you have to call the band for any reason after 4:00 PM that day, contact Randy Kramer.  James will be with the band on Friday, Saturday through the parade, and again on Sunday.

Since this is a travel weekend, LVW members should remember to pack the following:

Sleeping bag and pillow
Air mattress (optional)
ONE suitcase (Remember, we are on School Buses this weekend)
All personal items as needed (towel, soap and shampoo, change of clothes, DEODERANT, etc.)
BLACK SHOES AND SOCKS, BLACK A-4 T-SHIRTS, BLACK GLOVES, GUARD APPAREL, ETC. (Note we have FIVE performances this trip!)
Instruments, music, etc.
Water bottles, sunscreen, sunglasses, comfortable marching shoes, hats, etc.
Good Sunday Dress for church. Ladies and gentlemen MAY wear NICE DRESS SHORTS FOR CHURCH. Ladies, no spaghetti strap dresses. We are witnesses in our dress as well.

On Sunday, we will be worshiping in the 8:00 AM service at Eastside Lutheran Church in Madison.

Checkout Procedures for Sunday, June 30:


If you are going to be picked up following the Oregon Field Show, and are not returning on the bus or with your school’s designated transportation, the following procedures MUST be followed:

1.  Your parents must pick you up where we are changing out of uniform. For this weekend, that will be on Sunday, at Oregon HS (456 N. Perry Pkwy, Oregon, WI 53575). Please be aware, If you are picking up your child, you must be there before the band is ready to leave. If you are not there when the band is ready to leave, your child will come with the band.

2.  Your parents must check you out with the attendance chaperone from your bus. This must be done with you and your parent present.

3.   If your parents are not there when the band is ready to leave, you will come with us. We leave no one behind – EVER!
