Time to get excited! The 2010 season officially gets under way this coming weekend, January 23 - 24. Rehearsal will begin at 2:00 on Saturday with all LVW members gathering in the auditorium for the welcome from the staff, opening announcements, and an overview of the two-day rehearsal. We will conclude all of our activities by 2:00 PM on Sunday afternoon. Please check with your school’s director/LVW coordinator for travel plans to and from the rehearsal.

Here are a few items that you will need to know for the camp:

Pack a brown-bag supper for Saturday evening. Sunday breakfast/lunch will be provided by LVW. You will not need to bring any money for the meals - they are included in your fees for the year. There will be lemonade/Gatorade/water available. We prefer that you do not drink soda (pop) during LVW rehearsals.

We will be attending Saturday evening worship at Mt. Olive Lutheran Church. Casual clothes are acceptable for this worship service. The service begins at 5:30 PM.

You will need to pack an overnight bag with a change of clothes, overnight gear (Sleeping bag/blanket/pillow/air mattress/etc.), personal items (towel, soap/shampoo, deodorant, etc). We will be sleeping overnight at FVL.

For marching rehearsals, you will need to have comfortable shorts or sweats. You will also need a pair of tennis shoes for use on the gym floor.

Don’t forget your instrument! If you will be using an LVW instrument (horn, baritone/euphonium, tuba), you will need to bring your own mouthpiece. Reed players, please make sure you have a few working reeds for the weekend.

You will be given your music and other LVW equipment on Saturday.

Check back to this page occasionally. There may be more updates before the weekend.

See you Saturday!
