School Build Concert Lhung Baan V3
Lhung Baan V3 is the third consecutive charity concert led by Grade 11 students, providing middle and high school stringcombo bands with a platform to showcase their passion and musical talents. Lhung Baan was initially started by the class of 2024 and, since then, this annual event has been used to raise money for each year’s School Build project. Together with other projects led by G11 students, Lhung Baan V3 helped raise money for the class of 2026 School Build.
The preparation for Lhung Baan was not an easy feat, the committee includes 12 students from G11 this year. (Head of the committee: Pai | Booth & Food Management: Kate, Cal, Yumi, Pei | Stage & Audition Management: Pai, Kate, Pear, Ice, Cal, Yumi | Tickets Marketing & Sales: Bow, K | Media & PR: Pai, Pear, Mei, Pei Pei | Fundings: Chino, Tian) Each student has a distinct role in making the event possible.
The first preparation that went into this year’s concert was separating each student in a department they were interested in working in.
Secondly, we made a timeline for each department, brainstorming the major responsibility for each person. Third, we came up with a profit goal to support this past year’s School Build, along with calculating the costs of hosting the event.
The Booth & Food Management was responsible for inviting and organizing clubs around the school to open booths and raise funds for their own services. The Stage & Audition Management was responsible for inviting bands to join the concert, including managing an audition along with contacting outside suppliers for the sound and lighting on the event day.
The Tickets team was responsible for selling tickets and coupons used in the event. Marketing and Sales were responsible for advertising the event around campus. The Fundings department was responsible for management of all monetary donations and ticket sales of the event. Each team had a vital role in the event, we worked collaboratively to ensure all parties were properly taken care of.
Lhung Baan V3 was held on October 30th, 2024 in P501 from 3:30pm to 5:30pm. The day ran smoothly from the beginning to end. The day started with the load in of sound and lighting from an outside supplier, with the help of the school’s events team, we were able to facilitate the load in with great efficiency. Sound check for bands followed right after the completion of load in. Sound check was a very important time for bands to test out the stage environment, and make sure the band sounds good out in the audience area as well.
Clubs who signed up to open booths were then welcomed to set up during sound check, ensuring that there was enough time for each booth to set up their sales. The sound check and booth set up ended right before the event’s doors opened to the audience. The event had 9 bands in total: Hydrogen, SYNK, General Shark and The Great White, Root 36, The Rubik’s, TATA, Tuesday Club, 3.1415, Suki Mala. To summarize, Lhung Baan V3 was a great success, with over 30,000 baht raised for th Class of 2026 School Build!
