Upcoming Concert
Hello Laker Band Fans!
Not sure if anyone is still checking the band blog but just in case, I thought I would put a shout out about the concert coming up on
Monday April 28.
This time the district calendar is correct and the concert is set for
7:30pm
in the HS auditorium. We are expecting great things at the spring concert this year after almost an entire school year of practice leading up to this event.
Of course with Prom on the Saturday before the concert and post-prom activities that stretch into the wee hours of Sunday, I hope the band kids who attend prom are not too tired or crabby come Monday :)
Following the concert, I will be posting some pictures and clips for the band members and their massive following of friends and family.
In other band news, three members of the PLHS Wind Ensemble were selected as members of the All-State Band for 2008-2009.
Stay tuned for more band updates and fun pictures and clips from the upcoming concert.

Congratulations to:All band parents and guardians should have received the invitation last week to the Band Awards Reception coming up in May. All seniors' invitations should have included a notice regarding pictures needed for the traditional senior slide show. Complete details can be found at the official band website which is linked from the Laker Activity site of the HS site. Did you follow that??? Email me with questions :)
Suzanne Russell
Josh Straquadine and
Lindsay Moen!

Stay tuned for more band updates and fun pictures and clips from the upcoming concert.

about the picture site
Just a note about the picture site at dropshots.com...
The pictures are categorized by date, however, the dates and times of the pictures are only accurate if the digital camera that captured the image was set according to the actual date and time the photo was taken. Because of the different time zones and some cameras showing local China time and some cameras showing MN time, some of the pictures are found on one day and some pictures from the same event are found on another day. For example, there are Great Wall pictures found under both Monday and Tuesday.
My advice is to scroll through all the pictures on all of the days because they are somewhat mixed up within the dates listed, that way you won't miss finding specific images.
You will also find on the site, pictures taken at last Monday's All-District Jazz concert at the HS. I will eventually be putting more band pictures from this year on the site since I take several pictures at each of the various concert venues so watch for the spring concert pictures to appear on the site later this month.
Lastly, the trip pictures on dropshots.com are mostly from the chaperones. If any student travelers or their parents want to get more images on the site for sharing, either email me or let me borrow a disk or flash drive of your images. This is a great way to share pictures with each other.
Hope you all are enjoying the the thousands of trip photos!

Don't know how Mr K missed the best shot of this series of pictures taken at the market place in old Shanghai!
Can you tell which one was accidentially left out of the powerpoint yesterday?
