LPS Music Festival will showcase local musicians April 30

UPDATE: The LPS Music Festival has been moved INSIDE East High School due to weather. The performances will be in the auditorium, and audience members should enter through Door #1. Mary Ellen's will still be there selling food, and the merchandise sales and silent auction will continue! We look forward to seeing you there!

 

The Lincoln Public Schools Tri-M Music Honor Society chapters are working together to host the fourth annual LPS Music Festival on the practice fields south of East High School on Saturday, April 30, from 11 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The outdoor event will feature student performances from all six LPS high schools along with several community groups including PANgea, Los Mariachis de la Ciudad Estrella, The Red Keys a cappella group, and Northeast High alum Jadyn Keller.

“This is an opportunity to highlight the strong musicians we have in our community in a fun, casual and inclusive environment,” said staff sponsor and East High School assistant director of bands Nicole Shively. “This event caters toward talent show-esque musical performances rather than serious solo and ensemble performances. Students from around the school district auditioned in March and are eager to perform.”

Tickets for the event can be purchased ahead of time for $5 online, or $6 cash at the door. All proceeds will be donated back to LPS Music Department to help purchase new instruments for beginning band and string students at LPS.

There will be silent auction items for people to bid on and merchandise for sale. Mary Ellen's BBQ and New Day Smoothies & Coffee food trucks will be at the event, and bottled water will also be available for purchase.

Everyone is encouraged to come and go as they please and bring their own lawn chairs or blankets.
