LR Presents Modern Band Unplugged
Barton, VT - the Lake Region Union High School Music Department presents “Modern Band Unplugged” on Sunday, March 29th at 3pm in the LR Cafeteria. A free Community Souper lunch will be served, starting at 1:30 PM. We will have acoustic duos, trios and solos performing covers and original songs. Please come and join us to listen to some great music! This concert is completely student-led, with students creating the set list, rehearsing and arranging pieces outside of class, selling refreshments, setting up equipment, running a silent auction, and so much more. This will be a great learning experience for our students and a chance to fundraise money for our lesson scholarship fund and spring workshops. In order to fundraise the money for lessons we are going to sell beverages, baked goods, popcorn and more! We are also asking for a suggested donation of $5. For further information feel free to contact Sara Doncaster at (802) 754-2500-219 or email sdoncaster@ocsu.org. We are so excited to present this student-produced concert and we really hope to see you there! - by Abigail Wheeler, LR Band Manager. Cover art by LR Senior Riley Downs

The LR PTCA will be meeting Tuesday, March 24th at 5:00 in the Student Resource Room. Families will have an opportunity to review the Comprehensive Needs Assessment and provide feedback on the Continuous Improvement Plan. We will also be planning an event to be held in May.
