Choral Music Director Bruce Lengacher, and Instrumental Music Director (and current CMEA State President) Norman Dea and will be present to receive the Certificate of Recognition from Colleen McCormick, owner of Lamorinda Music. Refreshments will be served. Local media has been advised of this event and there is a high likelihood of television coverage. We would like to invite all music students, parents, LASF, district administrators, faculty, families and friends to come help celebrate this exciting accomplishment.
This national recognition would not be possible without the supportive and generous community in which we live, a community that embraces the performing arts as an integral component in our school's comprehensive curriculum, and the wonderful elementary & middle school music program that feeds the high school. In essence, this award recognizes the ENTIRE Lafayette community!
