Thanks to all who were able to attend our "Dress Performance" this past weekend! About 100 or more spectators were there to take in the event. Even though we moved inside due to the rain (which was needed anyway!), the day served the purpose well. Parents, siblings, grandparents, and other friends and relatives were able to watch warm ups and listen to our music. Lots of pictures and video were taken as well. Thanks for helping to make the day special for our Lutheran Vanguard members, staff, and volunteers!
More thanks also go out to our volunteers who assisted with meals, overnight chaperons, uniforms, and so on! Believe me - our kids and staff are WELL FED! A very large thank you to both Tony and Holly Kubek for the tremendous amount of time they are giving to the band. You are amazing!
Shoreland and Kenosha Weekend - June 25-27
The band will be rehearsing at Shoreland LHS on Friday and Saturday, and will be participating in the Kenosha Civic Veterans Parade on Sunday.
Keith Wordell (Band Director at Shoreland) is making every effort to make sure our stay at Shoreland is filled with fun, food, and festivities! He has communicated with the folks at the Kenosha Harbor Market and set up two standstill performances on Saturday morning! After our performances, the band members, staff, and volunteers will have the opportunity to spend some free time at the Harbor Market. Go to the link to find out more about what you can do and see while there. There are over 130 vendors with everything from fresh produce, arts and crafts, prepared food, processed foods, and unique retail.
The band members will have about an hour and a half to enjoy the Market. So the kids should bring some spending money. This will also be a meal "On Your Own", so the kids should have about $10 or so for their lunch. It is hard to suggest an amount, but that would be sufficient for a meal from the various food vendors on site.
What to Bring and Pack
Students should remember to pack everything needed for three days of camp. The packing list from Camp #1 will be a good reference for this week as well.
Students should also make sure to take care of themselves before this coming weekend. They were instructed to drink plenty of water so they can be fully hydrated. This past weekend was fairly nice, and this coming weekend looks to be in the 70s. We may also see some rain, but hopefully the weather will be beautiful for Sunday's parade.
Of special importance - Don't forget to bring the following:
Worship Service
LVW will be viewing a Livestream of an area church service on Sunday morning. There is no need to bring special clothing for this service.
Meals for this weekend
Directors, Staff, and Members should PACK A LUNCH FOR THE NOON MEAL ON FRIDAY. Also, everyone will need to bring money for lunch "On Your Own" on Saturday for lunch at the Harbor Market. All other meals will be provided by LVW.
