Thank you for a TREMENDOUS weekend! Highlights from these three days together include:
We cannot adequately express how proud we are of the students for the hard work, determination, and dedication they put in during our time together this weekend. They rose to the challenge and gave an outstanding performance (several, actually) during the Chilton parade. This is hands-down the staff’s biggest highlight of the weekend, and we are so excited to see what is to come.
Speaking of what’s to come… Here is the information for the upcoming weekend.
NOTE: An email with information for the trip out east will be coming in the next few days.

LVW CAMP #3
Our next camp begins on Friday, June 26 at 10:00am. This weekend we are camping out at KML in Jackson, WI. The routine looks oddly familiar…
If your child is going to miss part of camp, please fill out this form.

TRANSPORTATION & PARKING
FVL - If you have not yet done so, please fill out this form to ride the bus to KML. There’s been a slight change in plans for departure.
If you are not riding the bus, please mark “NO” on the form and give a brief description of your plans in the bottom question. Parents of students planning to travel to or from KML by a way other than the bus should send an email to Mr. Kramer or Mrs. Wagner with that information. Thanks! There will also be a bus returning to FVL after the Kenosha parade!
Transportation for other students: you'll coordinate with your travel agent/director to get to KML and back that weekend.
PARKING - all LVW people need to park in the KML upper lot (west lot, up behind KML by the new fieldhouse and soccer fields. There is a softball tournament this weekend, and they are parking in the PAC and lower student lots.
----------------------------------
THINGS YOU NEED FOR CAMP
Sustenance (bring a lunch for Friday!), sleeping stuff (still gonna do that), self-care stuff (we still need to shower, smell good, not get sunburned, and wear clothes), and street stuff (all the things to look good for a performance)

KENOSHA CIVIC VETERANS PARADE - JUNE 28
The band is marching in Kenosha on Sunday! We are #91 of 111 units in the parade (#1 in Division 5). The entire lineup and parade maps can be found here. We also ask that you review our Parade Etiquette before heading to the parade to make this an enjoyable experience for everyone.
The parade begins at 1:00. Here is the anticipated timeline.
If you are going to be picked up following the parade, and are not returning on the bus to KML, the following procedures MUST be followed:
VIDEO FOOTAGE NEEDED!
If anyone has some outstanding video footage from the past couple of performances, we’d appreciate you sending it to us! WFRV-5 from Green Bay contacted us Monday morning after hearing we’re marching in Philly. While they can’t come and film us (since we will no longer be rehearsing in their viewing area), they did invite us to send us some video that they can potentially use for a short shout-out on the news.

Again, thank you for reading this week’s edition of LVW News & Bullet Points. If you have any questions, as always, please let us know. We are happy to help!
Thank you for your encouragement, support, and enthusiasm so far this season. Stay safe, keep practicing (students), and we’ll see you soon!
