Are you the parent of a current eighth-grade student that is planning to join the Linganore High School band or color guard programs next year?
If so, please plan to join members of the LHS Band Boosters for an important informational session on Monday, May 15th from 7-8 PM at Linganore High School (room D113)!
We will review critical details about the commitments you'll be making as a new band family, and we can answer any questions you may have as a new band parent. We'll also have a limited selection of LHS Band merchandise available for sale as well.
A flyer for this event is available at this link.
Note that this overlaps the tail end of the new LHS band student orientation that day (from 5:30-8:00 PM at LHS). We'll make sure to wrap this up in time to pick up students after that event.
Feel free to contact Steve Granger (2023-2024 LHS Band Booster President) at stevegranger@linganoreband.org with any questions.
