As a result of Symphonic Band's excellent Festival Performance all four adjudicators highly encouraged this ensemble to apply for the 2015 Michigan Music Conference. These comments are huge for our program! The application is underway, letters of recommendation from various adjudicators/clinicians have been sent, recording completed, etc. Just a few loose ends and it will be mailed in a couple of days. 

The next step is to wait if we are accepted. Either way, Ms. W and I are so proud of all the musical accomplishments of past, present and future members of the LHS Bands. This is a team effort! We will keep you posted this summer of the outcome.


**** Update****
Symphonic Band was not selected to perform for the 2015 Michigan Music Conference. However, we have an excellent group and will strive for another fabulous year of performances and apply for 2016! Go LHS Bands!

There are so many aspects to our group traveling that will benefit your student way beyond their high school years:

Budgeting time and money

An appreciation of other geographical areas

Etiquette

History and culture

Perseverance (many of them wanted to quit the hike. They were glad they didn't)

Team work

Relationship building

Patience

Making decisions

Communication

Navigating a city

Tolerance

Sacrifice (Not having signals to their cell phones was shocking at first, but not missed once immersed in the activity at hand. This not only happened once, but many times throughout our trip.) 😉 A wonderful sight to see the group "unplugged" and really focused on something besides social media.

I am sure the list goes on. Feel free to add on to the list in the comment section!

Our wonderful accommodations! Definitely a wonderful place to stay. Our groups was treated like royalty!

Students were complimented every day from hotel staff! They cringed when the heard two bus loads of teenagers were going to embark on the property. The staff was thrilled to have us and was generous our entire stay.

Inside the caverns! A beautiful hike underneath the mountain. Spectacular formations, enormous rooms and a running river in which we were able to fill our water bottles with spring water. A natural treat for our morning hike!

Actually a man made "wishing" well. They built this well as a dam so the path would not flood. They donate the coins to the East Tennessee Children's Hospital...$3,100 last year!

A fern growing in the caverns. As natural as a fern may be it is unnatural to be growing in these caverns. Seeds of fern and moss have traveled on people's shoes and clothes and deposited underground. Some have found the ideal conditions to grow in the glow of the lights throughout the caverns.

Taken from the top! After a long and steep hike we made it. The students certainly burned some energy on this activity. It was wonderful to see them using their phones for pictures of landscape instead of socializing. Though they were excited to load them to the internet they had to wait a couple of hours before the buses had a signal.

Dear Parents,

At 5:15 we are about 50 minutes south of Lexington, Kentucky. Due to a road closure/accident investigation (helicopter as well) on a mountain road and construction on I-75 we are about 2 hours behind.

Our first 60 miles took 2 hours and 45 minutes! Kids have been fantastic and patient!
