6:00pm in the new cafeteria; LPHS
Join us for an
evening of food, fun & recognition of all band students!
This year's awards banquet will be a 'potluck' dinner held in the new cafeteria
at the high school. We hope that this less-expensive format will be more
convenient for all our families to attend. Here's how it will work:
Provided meal ($3.00 per person):
Fried Chicken
Mashed Potatoes with Gravy
Bread
Tableware provided (or you can bring your own)
Each family will be
required to bring a dish to pass as assigned
(alphabetically by last name):
A-F: vegetable
G-L: dessert
M-SEK: salad
SH-Z: soda (two 2-liter bottles)
To ensure we have enough food, we need you to return your Band Awards Banquet Reservation Form along with your payment to the LP band room office by May 7th. (Checks can be made payable to "LP Band Parents Association")
We will also need some help with setting up & serving, so wishing to earn some extra credit hours, please indicate on the form or call 815-579-2449.
Finally, if anyone still can not afford the cost of the event, please contact us so we can work something out. This night is for the students and to recognize their musical accomplishments of the year. We hope everyone will make every effort to attend! Thank you!!
