- If you have been thinking of ordering any of these items, now is the time to act!
- There are a few items that still have not yet met these minimums for the third order cycle:

- If you placed an order for apparel in the first order cycle and have not yet picked up your merchandise, please see Sue Felli in the LC Performing Arts office to pick up your items.
Rehearsal Clean Up:
- Cleaning up after rehearsal should never take more than ten minutes; however, that is only possible if we ALL do our part! In an effort to divide out rehearsal clean-up responsibilities evenly among the ensemble and help students/parents plan for potential delays in rehearsal dismissal, we have put together the following schedule to make sure that all students can plan their rides/ schedules accordingly. If you have a conflict please don’t hesitate to reach out so that we can make sure your students’ position is covered. Thank you for helping us maintain a standard of excellence through accountability in our organization!

After-School Dinners:

- Students who wish to participate in this program need to contact Mrs. Felli in the LC Performing Arts office.
- Note: It takes approximately 1 week for a student to be added to the dinner program after they have signed up. Please let us know if you’d like to participate as soon as possible!
