You may have noticed that Posts and Schedules are being released a bit earlier than in past years. There is a reason for that! From June 16 - June 28, I (James Neujahr) will be on a tour to Germany with my wife Julie, Wes Schmandt's German class, and other family members. Two of our LVW members (from Mr. Schmandt's German class) will also be on the trip. Julie and I are so much looking forward to this wonderful opportunity! We will finally be able to go on this trip, which was originally planned for 2020, then moved to 2021, and now it will finally happen
During the time that I am gone, general LVW questions and concerns can be sent to Tony Kubek, our Head Volunteer Coordinator, at [email protected]. LVW members from the various schools should try contacting their local band director first. For FVL, you can contact Elisabeth Wagner at [email protected]. MLHS questions should be directed to Charis Scharf at [email protected]. LPS, KML, and WLHS students can first try Angela Hohenstein at [email protected]. LHS students can contact Jonathan Witte at [email protected]. WLA students should contact Abby Kurth at [email protected].
What to bring with you:
LVW members should pack clothing for three days of rehearsal and performance. Please remember your personal uniform items, which include the black shoes/socks, gloves, and black compression t-shirts.
Check back on the Post from May 17 for a detailed packing list - just to make sure you don't forget anything.
