Fall Orchestra Concert
Tuesday, October 15th - 6:00pm
LPHS Auditorium - 2001 N Orchard St

Here are a few important details:

Dress Code: All black: black pants, black blouse/shirt, black shoes. Dress clothes are encouraged! But students should wear as close to all-black as possible.

Call Time: Students should arrive back at LP no later than 5:00pm on concert night. The orchestra room will be open after school for students that want to remain at school before the concert or want to come before 5pm. Students leaving campus after school must return by 5pm.

Instruments: If students have instruments at home, they should plan to use them for the concert, and are encouraged to bring them to school in the morning on Tuesday to use in class.

Volunteers: If you're interested in helping out at the concert, our parent booster organization BOP would love to hear from you! You can email BOP at [email protected] to let them know you're interested in getting involved!

Google Classroom & ASPEN

Make sure you're connected with your student's Google Classroom, as well as the Parent Portal on ASPEN.
  • Google Classroom is where you can find the course syllabus, and it's where I post assignments, announcements and materials. That's also where students can find our calendar and events information.
  • ASPEN is where students view their official grades, as well as their attendance. Families/caregivers can create their own logins to ASPEN's Parent Portal to view grade and attendance information. If you need help logging in, or never logged in before, please reach out and I'll be happy to help!

 

Practice Lab: Tuesdays After School

Starting tomorrow I'll be staying after school for our weekly Practice Lab. Students can stop by the orchestra room from Tuesdays from 3:30-4:30 to get extra help from me, record play test assignments, or just practice on their own. All orchestra classes have received their first playing assignments of the year, and I want to make sure that students have all the support they need to have a successful start to the year!

 

Instrument Rental Information

I encourage all orchestra students to rent an instrument to practice at home, to help in their musical development. Since it involves an additional cost, I understand that not all families are able, but for those of you who are looking for a place to rent an instrument, here are my recommendations:
  • Quinlan and Fabish is a music store in the suburbs that makes stops here at LPHS. Students can rent an instrument by visiting their website QandF.com, and a representative will deliver the instrument to school for them to take home. If the instrument needs repairs, they are done free of charge, students just bring the instrument to school for pickup.
  • A440 is a music store in Roscoe Village, that has high-quality instruments for rent and purchase. I usually recommend A440 for more advanced students looking for nicer quality instruments and bows.
