Mr. Marra has announced some office hours on the afternoon of June 14th. For more information, please go to http://lghsmusic.net/?q=node/951 or check the Calendar.

Note that Mr. Marra has requested different groups show up at different times--first Student Leadership, then Student drop-in, then parent drop-in, and finally a meeting of the Percussion team with our new lead Percussion instructor.

Dear Music Parents: I am thrilled to announce today that we have a new
Music Director--Mr. Chris Marra!

More information can be found here.

Unfortunately there have been no flights available out of the Munich airport today, so our travelers have remained at the Holiday Inn and will do so this evening as well. About half of the group took a walking tour of Munich, while the other half opted to stay at the hotel and have a down day. The tour operator is looking into the possibility of a trip to the famous Neuschwanstein Castle for tomorrow, should the airport remain closed.

It is now morning in Munich and our travelers are having breakfast. The Munich airport remains closed, although there is a rumor that it may open at 2:00 or 5:00 this afternoon. The group intends to stay put at the hotel until there is some reason to go to the airport. The hotel is very comfortable and the food is good!

As I sent out earlier, you can contact your travelers directly at their rooms, although now that it is daytime, they may not be in their rooms. There is a swimming pool at the hotel, a workout room, and laundry facilities.

By now you know about the volcanic eruption in Iceland and how it's stranded travelers all across the world. Unfortunately our musicians are part of that group.

The students, adults, chaperones and related families are all together, in Munich, and are being taken care of by Lufthansa. They will be staying at a Holiday Inn about 40 min from the airport tonight, and returning to the Munich airport in the morning--hopefully to board flights home!
