Lemont High School Band Parents Association The LHSBPA is a "not for profit" volunteer parent organization. Their function is to help ´ supplement & support the band program. We encourage parents to be active within the organization; your input and support is ´ invaluable to the success of the Lemont High School Band Program. Each student holds an “account” for their time in the program which allows their portions ´ of fundraisers to be applied towards trips and events. Meetings usually take place on the third Wednesday of every month at 7PM in Lemont HS ´ PAC or Band Room. The Fanfare, our monthly Band Newsletter, is available at lemontband.org and ´ electronically delivered each month via Charms e-mail blasts. Any questions can be relayed to the co-presidents – Kurt and Clare Korte. ´
