The annual Lake Highlands High School

March-A-Thon is Friday, Aug. 21. Wildcat band members each spend a minimum of 10 hours that day practicing and perfecting performances. The event wraps up with a show for the whole neighborhood at 6 p.m. on the B field, east of the school. (Hang around for the traditional post-concert snowball fight.) Friday’s show is free, but those who wish to financially boost band members aiming to raise money for fall competitions and travels can pledge a dollar amount to a member/members for each March-A-Thon hour, or a flat-rate donation to the whole band. Each student is working to raise $200, organizers say, to support upcoming performances in Hawaii, as well as competitions closer to home. New Band Director Phillip Alvarado says he expects “an exciting year for band members and the community.” He hopes we all will show support, if not by pledge, by attending contests, concerts and half-time shows. “These are the future leaders of our community and society, after all,” he says. Either contact a band member you know to pledge or email csze.martin@sbcglobal.net.
