The music department has begun rehearsals with three performing groups. The concert band, jazz band and choir are all in preparation for the many fall performances that are scheduled and we are delighted to welcome world-famous conductor and educator, Dr. Dale Lonis, to Forest Lawn to work with our students on Wednesday, October 10. As well, preparation is underway for spring travel and fundraising. The Forest Lawn Music Parents’ Association will be meeting on the second Monday of each month to facilitate these important programs and all music parents are welcome to attend.
