There is a long-standing tradition in the LHS Choir Department to wear choir t-shirts for the first concert of the year. We use these t-shirts throughout the year when we go out to sing in the community or when Concert Choir tours. We also use them to advertise our concerts. Choir t-shirts have been ordered and the cost is $12. The students have had the opportunity for multiple fundraisers and may use fundraising money to pay for their shirt, or they may bring $12 to Mrs. Conrad or Mrs. Ferguson.
The attire for our fall concert is nice blue jeans, choir t-shirt, and close-toed shoes. The 8th graders that will be joining us should wear nice blue jeans, a plain white t-shirt, and close-toed shoes. Please refer to the above schedule for the extra rehearsals during the week of the concert.
