The Lassiter Orchestra Fall Camp is just around the corner! Camp is designed as an integral part of the Lassiter Orchestra experience. Your son/daughter will receive approximately 10 hours of ensemble and sectional instruction with the LHSO Camp Staff. Orchestra Camp is essential to the progress of our orchestra program in order to advance to a higher level of string performance and to develop skills as a member of an ensemble. Please follow this link for detailed Camp information.

LHSOA General Meeting
Please plan to attend our annual Lassiter High School Orchestra Association (LHSOA) General Meeting on Monday, August 13th at 6:30 PM in the Lassiter Concert Hall. This is a key meeting for all families. We will discuss registration, budget, fundraising, and other important topics. We strongly recommend at least one parent attend.
Invest in your Child’s Music Education with a Registration Donation
There are reasons why Lassiter Orchestra is renowned as one of the premier orchestra programs in the country. It is through generous financial support from our committed families and sponsors that we can provide enrichment opportunities for our students. With these funds, we can bring visiting clinicians for master classes, provide specialized tools and equipment to our orchestra, organize field trips to the ASO, and much more that are just not possible with the meager budget provided by the county. There are several tiers of donations which offer added incentives to our families. We highlight the Bronze Level ($150) which meets the minimum funding required per student to cover the cost of camps and clinicians for the entire year. We have an added incentive to request donations. In order to apply for grants, 100% participation is required from our membership. Your donation will help us achieve this goal, and any amount is appreciated and helpful.
