If you have any good/fun photos/videos from your time in our Music Department, we would be grateful if you could take a moment to share them here:
Our original musical revue, “USO Big Band Show” received one of the staggering SIX national Downbeat and Music For All awards earned by your LHS Music Department in the last four years!
This fun musical revue will be performed again in 2024 and will be the final home campus performance event of Mr. Miller’s 30th and final year as Leyden’s Music Department Chair. Two “USO Big Band Show” performances will be given: May 10 (7:00 PM) and May 11 (2:00 PM).
We hope you will Save the Date, as all Music Department Alumni will be invited to the performances and the ensuing celebration party and alumni reunion event following the May 11 performance.
Likewise, a number of Music Department Alumni will have an opportunity to participate in the show.
Associated details will be forthcoming in early 2024!
