Lafayette Fine Arts Calendar

   

In 2005, the Lafayette High School Music Department was recognized as a Grammy Signature School . This is an award granted to schools that have an outstanding comprehensive music department.  A Grammy Signature School Award is awarded by the Grammy Foundation (Yes this is the same organization that awards the Grammy's) Lafayette Music department received a $2000 award provided by 7•UP.  The Grammy Signature Schools program recognizes the top public high schools across the United States that made an outstanding commitment to music education during the 2004-2005 school year.

 

In November 2004, Lafayette began the selection process by completing an online application. LHS was notified of its status as a finalist and asked to submit additional documentation such as recordings of school concerts, sample concert programs, and repertoire lists. These documents were then reviewed by an independent screening committee to determine the schools that merited Signature School status. Lafayette submitted samples of excellent performance recordings of the Lafayette Bands, Orchestras, Choirs, and Jazz Band.
