As marching season comes to a close, we would like to say THANK YOU to ALL the volunteers who helped this season - photography, Roadies, chaperones, hospitality, the list goes on. We could not have done it without each and every one of you!
The last two weekends were busy with lots of fundraising! THANK YOU to our Craft Fair Chairperson, Blair Leone, and her team Heather Babish (concessions) and Heather Dahlby (bake sale). You ladies are AMAZING! Recycle Day went very smoothly and we had amazing parent and student volunteers. THANK YOU Michelle Whitesel for helping us organize this event! Parent volunteers - Brent Snyder, Troy Kubes, Michelle Merkel, Betsy Homer, Reese Craig, Julia Presuel, Emilie Barry, Tina Pfeiffer, Kerri Irwin, Ed Howard, Sandy Pittman and alumni parent Rebecca Campbell. If we forgot someone, please let us know! We could not have done it without each of you!
The Tree Lot is coming! This is the BIGGEST fundraiser of the year for the band. We need LOTS of student and parent volunteers - the sign up will be coming out soon. If we don't have enough volunteers for any given day, the lot will be closed for that day. Make it a family event and sign up with your student! We promise it will be fun!
Eyes With Pride,
Kristin Hawkins & Lisa Kubes

Concert Fees Due December 1st - Payment Link Below
Reminder - if your student is enrolled in a band class during the school day, he/she is in concert band. This applies to all marching students. Required concert fees of $150 are used for Symphonic Camp, to bring in guest clinicians and instructors for each instrument, guest clinicians, purchase music, etc. Please make sure these fees are paid on time: https://lassiterbands.org/shop/fees/concert-season-fees/
Please post the Disney Calendar! Approaching $1000!
If every family participates in this fundraiser, we are going to have great results! It takes LESS than 5 minutes to setup and you don't have to do anything else!!! If you've already posted, THANK YOU! and be sure to regularly comment so the post keeps showing up on people's social media feeds.
Step-by-step instructions:
1. Post the “Mickey” calendar image
2. Add the following text and link:
In April 2022, my son/daughter is traveling to Walt Disney World to march down Main Street for the 50th Anniversary parade! After a year of such hard times and limited travel, we’d be so grateful if you could help contribute to offset the cost of the trip for these students.
- Choose any date(s) on the calendar (the 1st is $1, the 20th is $20)
- Pay via the PayPal link. If you could also pay the convenience fee that would be helpful and place a note in the memo line indicating it's for Disney. https://paypal.me/lbbaorg?country.x=US&locale.x=en_US
- Post a comment to let us know which dates you are taking!
Thank you so much for supporting the Lassiter High School Marching Band!
3. What happens next:
People choose which date they would like to donate. Example- Grandma chooses November 30th and uses the PayPal link provided to pay $30. People are free to pick more than one day. Grandma can pick Nov. 1st and Nov. 30th if she wants! As people choose dates, you can post and let others know what is taken and what is still available until you fill all of the dates. If your calendar fills up fast, feel free to post a new one!
4. Any questions?
Please contact Lisa and Kristin at presidents@lbba.org.
Pretty simple, right? You can start posting this weekend and continue throughout the month of November. All money collected will be sent to Super Holiday (just like the car wash) and the final payment will be adjusted.
Thank you in advance for taking part and helping the band get to Disney!
Winterguard Auditions This Week - All are Welcome!

How to Record Student Service Hours
Students need to record their own service hours on the Naviance website. This is not done by the LBBA. Below is a link to the instructions. Any questions regarding the Naviance tool should be directed to your student's guidance counselor. An email is required for verification of those hours - for band related service, please use presidents@lbba.org.
