Things are going VERY WELL at our second camp of the summer! All three sections are putting a lot of effort into our third song for this summer - Clouds that Sail in Heaven. While we will not be playing that selection on the street in Chilton, the band has made significant progress on Clouds.
We are quite sure that you are going to LOVE Clouds! It is based on the hymn tune "Lasst Uns Erfreuen", which many of us know better as the hymn "From All That Dwells Below the Skies". This selection was also the inspiration for our seasonal T-shirt this year, from 1 Chronicles 29:11 - "Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, Lord, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all.
Clouds is also, by far, the most challenging selection we are playing this summer. In fact, we have not attempted music of this difficulty level since before COVID and the "relaunch" of LVW. Having said that, however, the band is taking on this challenge in a way that they have approached every challenge - and that is with the greatest effort with the gifts with which they have been blessed. I truly hope that you will be able to attend at least one of our parades during the week of July 2 - 8 to hear Clouds on the street. It is the type of musical selection for which LVW has come to be known over the years - strong, recognizable, Christian music!
Camp #3 Information
The next camp is primarily a rehearsal camp, with no parades. And since it is only a two day camp, the kids will only be spending one night at FVL. Therefore, they can pack lightly!
The Camp will begin at FVL on Saturday morning, June 24, at 10:00 AM.
PLEASE NOTE: Here is information Mrs. Hohenstein sent to parents from the "Southern Schools" last week concerning travel for this coming weekend. After meeting with the students from KML, WLHS, WLA, and LPS, it seems like the kids/families/parents have a pretty good start of transportation to and from the camp.
From Mrs. Hohenstein: Please visit the google sheet about transportation. There is no bus for June 24,25. There will be TWO vans from KML that can fit some of us--so we're opening that up to KML kids first. We ask that the rest of you carpool/drive themselves since there is no parade and it is just one night. Please sign up yes/no for the vans on June 24,25 by the end of the week so we can open it up to the other schools.
Form is here: KML Transportation Google Form
Thanks, all!!
Mrs. Hohenstein
The Camp will conclude on Sunday, June 25, at 4:00 PM.
No Parades Next Weekend
The packing list for Camp #3 will be a bit different from the first two camps, since there are no parades. So the band members will not need to bring their Black Shoes/Socks and A4 Compression Shirts.
Two Standstill Concert Performances on June 24
We have been invited to perform standstill concerts at two senior assisted living homes next weekend! For those two performances, the band members will be wearing their Seasonal T-Shirt and shorts/tennis shoes. Please - pack a nice pair of shorts for these performances, rather than athletic or bike-style shorts. Please don't forget the seasonal shirt at home!
The performances will be on Saturday afternoon, June 24. The first will be at Aspire Senior Living in Kimberly. The Executive Director at Aspire is a former LVW member from Manitowoc Lutheran HS. So it was natural that she wanted LVW to perform for the residents! The second will be at Rennes/Renaissance Assisted Living in Appleton. We were invited by a former LVW Parent and long-time LVW supporter who is now a resident at Rennes. We are so happy that the schedules worked out to be able to perform for these senior communities! It has been many years since we have had that kind of opportunity.
Parents - these are not public performances. We want our members to give their entire focus to the residents of these two communities, rather than their families. Some of you may have relatives at these homes, and if so, you are more than welcome to come and enjoy the performances! One of the benefits of playing at retirement communities is that the kids will have a chance to mingle with the residents briefly following our performances. Since we are also going to worship at Mount Olive that evening, the time at each retirement home will be quite brief. Therefore, we kindly ask that you don't try to attend these performances (unless you have a relative at one of these homes). We thank you for your cooperation!

3:30 PM - Renaissance Assisted Living, 301 E. Florida Avenue, Appleton, WI 54911
