Lions of Missouri, We are still needing your help. We are receiving applications almost everyday, which is a great thing!!! We are at 50 students for your Missouri Lions Band. We need 17 more to be able to get the second bus. THAT IS ONLY 3 STUDENTS PER DISTRICT. Right now the first bus is ready to bust at the seams. So we need some more and the way applications are coming in I am sure with your dedicated help we can fill the second bus as well. If your club can not sponsor a student by yourself get with another club and co sponsor the student or have the parents help with the cost. This year a student needs to get their passport or pass card it can take up to 6 weeks. Another words time is ticking away. We want to have a band that can bring home the gold for the Lions of Missouri. This year the band has a few honors to participate in when we go to the International Convention; 1.) perform the parade with the Missouri Lions Delegation, 2.) perform a concert for the Missouri Lions Delegation, 3.) perform the parade for the incoming president of Lions International, and 4.) participate in the International Convention Flags of Nations Ceremony. This is something your band student will think is great especially when they become a LION. SO help us get the band we need to show all of the Lions in the world what the Missouri Lions is all about and what we can accomplish. Today is the Day to get that band student signed up. Thank you for your continued support. Yours in Lionism, PDG Lion Ron Koppelmann, Jr. Missouri Lions All State Band Chair.
