WOW!  What a week!  LVW staff, members, and volunteers really let their light shine!  Our first two competitive shows of the season are in the books.  We had very favorable comments from judges, and some great advice to help improve our performance. Tetelestai is sure to be one of the best productions LVW has presented in our brief history on the field.  Thanks to ALL for helping to make this happen!

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 28.  Rehearsal begins at 10:00 AM at FVL.  All other meals will be provided by LVW.

We will be staying at FVL on Wednesday and Thursday nights, so no host homes will be needed. Friday we travel to Milton for our show, and then will spend the night at Eastside Lutheran Church and School in Madison  Our week ends on Saturday night following the parade and show in Sun Prairie. 

Remember, you should pack for FOUR days, but try to utilize small suitcases and duffel bags. We are again traveling with school buses for this trip (Friday and Saturday), so space will be very limited.

Rehearsal camp will take place on Wednesday and Thursday at FVL. On Thursday night, June 29, we welcome MACBDA to our campus for the LVW 2017 Classic!  We are truly excited to serve as host for our band friends.
