The LHS bands and choirs performed their annual holiday concert, Dec. 13 in the LHS auditorium. The concert starred Grace Notes, Concert Choir, Gold Voices, Jazz Band I & II, and Concert Band.
The choirs also performed a concert at the University of Idaho on Dec. 9.
Last month, LHS sent 15 students to All State in Nampa, Idaho: Performers included seniors, Faith Bigler, Andrew Bugbee, Marshal Fisher, Tony Murillo, Sam Pals, Matthew Piatt, Emily Thomason, and Orion White, juniors, Eden Gibbs, Aubrie Hunt, Mackenzie Lorton, Derek Renzelman, and Austin Rose, and sophomore, Anne Carper. They auditioned and were selected from about 1500 other students. They joined up with 500 others from the Northwest and rehearsed in groups with performers from other schools.
A special conductor came from California and helped the All State performers prepare their pieces, according to Burns. They practiced for three days, for about eight hours a day, and then performed at Northwest Nazarene University (NNU).
Meanwhile, Band Director Brendan Burns seeks dancers to perform with the LHS marching band. In the fall of 2017, Burns plans to assemble a color guard group.
