Welcome Fellow Instrumental Parents,

The award winning LAHS Instrumental Music program, led by director Ted Ferrucci, has an exciting year in store for our eight music groups: Orchestra, Chamber Strings, Concert Band, Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Morning Jazz, Jazz Ensemble, and the Marching Band & Color Guard.

Music Boosters is the parent organization which supports the activities of the instrumental music department.  The success of this dynamic program depends on the participation of its families and friends. You can ensure your student has a great experience in many ways:

• Join the Instrumental Email Lists - Information about performances and logistics are communicated through email. To ensure you’re informed, click on “Subscribe E(agle)-Mail” and check off all the instrumental groups your student will be involved in.  Information is tailored for each class.

   

• Participate in Music Boosters - As a parent of an instrumental student, you are a member of Music Boosters!  Come to the monthly meeting (usually the 1st Monthly Monday, 7:00 PM, Band room). Hear what’s going on from the Music Director and share your ideas. Volunteer for performances, help is always needed.

   

• Donate generously and help with fundraisers - The majority of our funds come from direct parent donations, the rest from fundraisers.  We support all instrumental groups with instrument purchases (1/3 of students use school instruments), repairs, music clinicians, support staff, music arrangements and scholarships. 

   

• Meet the Board - The Music Boosters has a friendly Parent Board representing each music ensemble and key Committee Chairs.  They’re ready to help you navigate the music department.  Feel free to contact them with your questions.

We are committed to making this year both successful and enjoyable for everyone in the Instrumental Program.
