The Loara Band program is grateful and touched by the outpouring of sympathy and offers of assistance.

As much as the revenue lost by the cancellation of our tournament will hurt, our thoughts and prayers go out to those who have lost their homes and have been otherwise affected by the fires.

We have great students and parents and we will find our way out of the current situation. So we hope anyone considering donations to our program will send them to the American Red Cross. We will do the same with anything we may receive.

The "Band" community is a wonderful thing and we hope to be able to repay the kindness we have been shown in the future.
