Fall Skills Assessment Auditions Tuesday, August 29th 5-7:30 PM
This Tuesday all Lassiter Orchestra students have their 1st adjudicated Skill Assessment Audition. As we bring in a panel of string educators to assess our young musicians, these must take place after school. All students were given their assessment times last week. Please encourage your son/ daughter to practice their material (have them perform it for you!) so that they have a successful audition. If there are any conflicts with their time, please contact one of the directors as soon as possible, <Email Directors>. Happy practicing!

Concert Attire – Order Now
Important: Fitting for Freshman during class on Tuesday, August 29th
GIRLS: EZ-Fit Ava Gown BOYS: Basic Poly Notch
Tuxedo Package
Our first concert in formal attire is on October 19th. To be ready for the Fall Concert, please ensure that your student’s uniform is ordered by the end of August. The Tuxedo Wholesaler website currently indicates 4 weeks processing and shipping for the girl’s gown. The boy’s tuxedo takes 4 days to process and another 2-5 days to ship. Once you receive the uniform, it would also require hemming. Place your order early so there’s ample time for your student’s uniform to be performance-ready for the Fall Concert. We can’t wait to see all our musicians looking confident and sharp in their formal attire!
Order online at www.tuxedowholesaler.com.
Easy, interactive measuring instructions are provided.
Download the Order Form from the website by clicking >>Uniform Order Form<<
Students wanting to purchase their own used tux need to buy a “standard black tuxedo” (no tails!). If you have any questions, please contact Audrey Donahue at vicepresident@lhsoa.org.
LHSOA Registration – We need your help! Every family can participate
Family names and Donation Levels are posted here @ Family & Donation Levels.
Thank you, families, for your registrations and generous donations.
Please register your membership in the Lassiter High School Orchestra Association today. Your participation will ensure our students have access to all of the wonderful advantages and programming planned for this year. Every musician will receive the benefits based upon the Board-approved annual budget. But we need your help in order to be successful. Registering at the Bronze level meets your student’s minimum obligations for programming. Registering at a higher level provides, even more, opportunity for all of our students, and families who donate at the premium levels receive added benefits too! Select a level you are most comfortable supporting — and keep in mind all the enrichment that your student is receiving in return for these modest fees. Whether you’re in a position to give $50 or $500, your contribution will be greatly welcomed and appreciated at any level. Families who donate at the Friend level are required to pay a fee for each activity that requires one — for example, fall and winter camps.
Please see our website for all the information you need on registration levels:
Participation Levels
- Friend – any amount up to $149
- Bronze – $150+ per year
- Silver – $250+ per year
