Band and Choirs Tour St. Louis

This weekend the Lakeview Junior School Bands and Choir will be competing in the Music in the Parks contest in the St. Louis area. The competition will include the Wind Ensemble, Jazz Band, Marching Spartan Band and the Lakeview Chorus. Students will be leaving Lakeview Thursday afternoon and will tour historical and educational sites on Friday before performing in the the various competitions. Saturday morning, the Marching Band will be competing at Eureka High School and then on to Six Flags, St Louis for the rest of the day which will conclude with the an awards program in the amusement park. Sunday will include the wonderful Valley of the Flowers Parade in nearby Florissant, Mo. This is a wonderful, well attended parade and the Lakeview Marching Spartans is a perennial favorite of parade goers. Students will return home Sunday evening after a very busy weekend. Good luck to our talented young musicians. I am hoping they will return with several large trophies! Good luck to directors, Brian Ohlsen, Tom Tedeschi and Jen Berman! Go Spartans!
