Dear Students and Parents,<br />

LIBERTY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY<br />

HIGH SCHOOL BAND<br />

I am so proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish in one year! I want you to know that I<br />

am committed to making this one of the best (and most enjoyable) years of <strong>band</strong> ever. The<br />

<strong>band</strong> is a VITAL part of the LCA Bulldog Experience, and I want help it grow to become<br />

even more. I believe that LCA has the potential to be one of the top <strong>band</strong> programs in the<br />

state, but I cannot do it without student involvement. I WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF<br />

IT! (I promise you won’t regret it!)<br />

Our show this year—more than any other past show, will be a program that people will<br />

remember. The show, still in development, will include familiar music that will be<br />

entertaining, uplifting, and educational. The show is entitled, “Keep Calm and Carry On”.<br />

This theme will be a powerful reminder to us all. We live in a very uncertain time. The<br />

financial market is up and down, and the lack of peace and unrest in our time can really test<br />

our faith. But Isaiah 26:3 says, “You will keep them in perfect peace, those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You”. I<br />

am thankful that in spite of uncertainty around me, I know Who holds it all together. Musical selections will include: Carry on My<br />

Wayward Son, Lean on Me, and Don’t You Worry ‘Bout a Thing.<br />

Now is the time to make a decision! Plans are now underway to make next year the best year yet. Membership is<br />

open to all 8-12 th graders. Rising 7 th graders are also eligible in select cases. Marching Band will rehearse 3-4 days a<br />

week when school is in session, and cut back to 3 days per week after September 8. Summer rehearsals include the a<br />

handful of summer evening rehearsals if you’re in town (TBA), July 25-26 rookie-camp (mornings), and <strong>band</strong><br />

camp (full day rehearsals) from July 29-August 9. Beginning August 12, we will still rehearse regularly, but will<br />

have reduced hours due to teacher’s meetings, meet-and-greets, and other school-related functions that might prevent us from<br />

having rehearsals. The total cost will be $500 (or, $450 if you do not use school equipment) and a significant portion of that<br />

goes toward the trip to Florida. We just need a deposit before the summer. This includes a great performance opportunity and<br />

trip to Orlando, FL. We will be spending THREE days in the Disney theme parks, two nights in a nice Orlando area hotel, and<br />

performing for huge crowds in one of the Disney parks during our stay. The cost not only covers the trip, but most every expense<br />

related to the <strong>band</strong> season.<br />

Being in <strong>band</strong> is a great way to establish friendships and familiarity at the high school level, and can serve as a great transition into the<br />

next phase of your academic career. You will find that being in the <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong> will help you be a better musician, develop time<br />

management skills, leadership qualities, foster spiritual growth, and teach the discipline it takes to be successful at the high school level.<br />

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. I would be happy to meet with you to<br />

discuss our program in detail and share my professional thoughts about the positive implications associated with our <strong>band</strong>.<br />

I am looking forward to working with your son/daughter. I truly believe that next year's group will bring a new level of excellence to<br />

our ensemble. Please complete the attached Commitment Form and return to Mr. Seipp (along with your deposit) in the <strong>band</strong> room,<br />

or Mrs. Paulson in the upper school office (summer) as soon as possible.<br />

Musically yours,<br />

Larry Seipp<br />

Frequently Asked Questions<br />

– 2 – May 8, <strong>2013</strong><br />

I have summer plans—can I still be in <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong>?<br />

YES!! Most students in <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong> are busy going to the beach, spending time with family, and going to camps. We are as flexible as possible. If<br />

you can make the majority of practices, we’ll work with you. Rookie Camp (July 25-26 in the mornings) is for all new marchers and student<br />

leaders and we’ll give them a crash course on <strong>marching</strong>. Band Camp begins July 29, when we start to learn the guard choreography, music, and<br />

<strong>marching</strong> fundamentals. The first two weeks of August (this year, this begins July 29) is probably the most important time as that’s the time when we<br />

learn the drill…which is tough to do with people missing….so we ask that vacations are planned around those two weeks (I realize you’re just getting<br />

the dates, so will work with any student willing to try extra hard if time is missed). After Full Band Camp is over, we practice in the afternoon until<br />

school opens. My overall vision is to learn as much of the show as possible before school begins, and therefore, we’ll be able to cut back the daily<br />

rehearsals from 4 down to 3 days/week! This will depend on several factors but it IS possible and it is my ultimate goal for LCA. That would be a<br />

significant cutback in practice commitment times, and with proper planning, I know we can do it.<br />

How much does it cost?<br />

We operate the <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong> almost entirely through fundraising. Our <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong> budget can be as high as $40,000. In order to meet that need,<br />

we have charged a <strong>band</strong> fee in additional to fundraisers. This year’s fee includes expenses such as, guard flags, uniforms, <strong>band</strong> banquet and dinner,<br />

awards, transportation to competitions, show design costs, additional clinicians, 3 days of Orlando theme park tickets, etc. and is $450, PLUS<br />

equipment fee of $50 (if you use school equipment). All the money will go toward the <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong>, the program, instruction, and supplies<br />

supporting the <strong>band</strong> program.<br />

The minimal additional costs may include $30 <strong>band</strong> shoe cost, and $8 glove costs. The <strong>band</strong> boosters will offer ways to fundraise portions of the <strong>band</strong><br />

fee. No student will be turned away due to financial hardship, so please let Mr. Seipp know if you want to be in <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong>, but need<br />

greater flexibility on payments or ways to help raise the money. I don’t want any student to miss an opportunity to be in <strong>band</strong> due to $.<br />

*There will be a $25 discount per student of families with more than one child in <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong>, which can be taken off the final<br />

payment.<br />

Payment Schedule:<br />

$100 (or $50 if you have your own instrument) Deposit Due by May 24 (last day of school) with commitment forms to Mr. Seipp<br />

$400 Remainder Can be Paid Two Ways:<br />

1.) Families on FACTS (auto pay plan) can pay it over 10 months (Aug-May) in $40 installments<br />

2.) Families not on FACTS: pay in 4 installments of $100 (Aug-Nov). These will be invoiced and sent via mail.<br />

Why be in <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong>?<br />

It’s Fun. Travel. Performance opportunities!<br />

The BEST musicians have always been a part of it.<br />

We have a tradition of excellence….we are a WINNING organization.<br />

It is one of the most visible organizations at LCA within the community.<br />

Participation teaches teamwork, leadership skills, time management, and musicianship.<br />

Challenging both physically and musically.<br />

Get in Shape! Get a nice Tan…if you desire!<br />

Get to know your way around LCA and find new friends before school starts.<br />

Learn from Guest Clinicians--we bring in additional clinicians, performers, and arrangers to help us (students and staff) become the best we can be.<br />

I’m concerned about allowing my child to travel so much as a 7 th or 8 th grader. What procedures and<br />

policies are in place to ensure safety and supervision?<br />

In addition to LCA policies and rules, we will have a fairly detailed <strong>band</strong> handbook. This details nearly every <strong>band</strong> procedure and expectation. Band<br />

members are expected to be of the highest moral character and are held accountable by staff, chaperones, and administration. All trips are planned<br />

well in advance with help from the <strong>band</strong> boosters. We provide water before and after every performance and make plans to take medically certified<br />

staff/chaperones on every trip. The boosters and chaperones operate like a well-oiled machine and do an excellent job caring for your student!!<br />

After school begins, when does the <strong>band</strong> practice?<br />

We practice 4 times per week through Sept 8. After that, we’ll go to 3 days per week. The <strong>marching</strong> <strong>band</strong> will hold practices after school from 3:30-<br />

6:00 on Mon, Tue, and Thursday afternoons, and from 3:30-5:30 on Fridays. We will never practice on Wednesdays and would be good days to plan<br />

other things such as private lessons, appointments, etc. In mid-October, as the show becomes more refined, we’ll scale back rehearsals to not go past<br />

5. My ultimate goal will be to get so much done over the summer, that we’ll be able to go to only 3 practices/week. A full calendar will be available<br />

by the end of the school year.<br />

When does the <strong>band</strong> perform?<br />

Home Games, 4-5 All-Day Competitions on Saturdays beginning September 21-Nov 2, playoff games, and the Lynchburg Christmas Parade--usually<br />

the first or second Saturday/Sunday in December. We’ll be able to give a more exact schedule in June.<br />

How Do I Sign UP?<br />

1. Turn in your commitment form and first payment as soon as possible.<br />

VERY IMPORTANT: If you are out of town and cannot attend a portion of <strong>band</strong> camp, please LET US KNOW on your form, and make sure you<br />

turn in your sign-up form and deposit so Mr. Seipp can save a spot for you. Missing portions of the <strong>band</strong> camp time, can and may affect what role we<br />

are able to give you, so make every effort to attend all of camp.
