2018 Pre LGPE Camp, Jan 19, 20

The orchestras are now preparing for their Large Group Performance Evaluations.  January 19th and 20th is our Winter Orchestra Camp. We have an outstanding staff lined up who will not only take our students to the next level, but will inspire them along the way.  Our camps are built to provide a fast-paced yet thorough understanding of string technique coupled with building the ensemble as a musical team.  Every member of each ensemble is important to our musical progress and presentation. We are finishing the camp with a Lassiter Orchestra Family Potluck. Would love for all our Orchestra families to come, mingle, eat and enjoy! Contact Audrey Donahue vicepresident@lhsoa.org with any questions you might have.
Please contact the directors with any Winter Camp schedule conflicts at Lassiterorchestras@gmail.com.
Our Pre-LGPE performance is Thursday, February 8th at 7pm.  We look forward to performing this wonderful literature for our orchestra families and friends!
