LGPE is here!
All four orchestras will be performing at GMEA District 5 Large Group Performance Evaluation next week at Chattahoochee High School! The student have been working extremely hard to prepare their programs for the judges.
Performances are open to the public, so if you are able to make it, we would love the support.
