Summer Music


By Amelia Schlichting

Summer was filled with fun for the Lyons-Decatur School music. First they went to Worlds of Fun and Oceans of Fun to celebrate the end the school year and begin the 2013 summer music program. Students participated in lessons, drumline, Jazz band, Pep band, and marching band rehearsals every week. There were 41 students involved, 121 lessons given, and  20 rehearsals. The bands also had four performances. These performances included Memorial Day Ceremony Performance, Riverfront Festival Parade, Bluegrass Parade, Burt County Parade.
