SCHOOL INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC LESSONS
Click here to see the alphabetical group list, your lesson day, and lesson time.
We have been invited to perform on the main concourse for the LV Phantoms on the opening night, Saturday, October 14. We will play a variety of our band pep songs and marches while fans enter the arena. We did this last year and had a great time.
This is not a mandatory performance. This performance opportunity is open to all the winds and percussion in the band. All participants, students, parents, and guardians, need to purchase a ticket to the game to participate. Tickets at $17 per person.
Parents are responsible for transporting their child and their child’s instrument to and from the game. You will need to be there around 5:30 for us to get set up and begin performing at 6 PM.
Please register using the link below so we can organize the performing ensemble. You will find a link at the end of the form to purchase tickets directly through the LV Phantoms.
