Lincoln-Way East High School Music

Concepts: This is Lincoln-Way East's fifth year as its own school. So in celebrating our anniversary the music of this year's show includes: five famous fifth symphonies.

Incorporated in the show is the visual use of everything associated with the number five. Fingers; toes; appendages (head, 2 arms, 2 legs); stars; pentagons; human senses; musical groups; color guard groups; percussion groups; the Greek letter Phi; five elements of wood, metal, fire, water, air; there are five organs of sense, five organs of action, five energies; the tenets of Taekwon-Do: courtesy, integrity, perseverance; self control, and indomitable spirit; the musical Circle of Fifths; the pentatonic scale.

In summary, FIVE is the quintessential number – it appears in all types of signs, forms and symbols around the world. It permeates nature, math, art, literature and music. One ancient philosopher wrote, "All things happen in fives or are divisible by or are multiples of fives.

Entries should be identified on the back side with your name, phone number, and your affiliation with the band, i.e., band booster, band member, etc. To keep the judging non-biased, do not sign the design or have any identification on the front of the artwork. Entries can be turned in to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Smith, Mr. Spaeth, Mrs. Muraida, or dropped into the blue mailbox. A panel of (non-partial) judges will determine this year's shirt design. The winning entry will be announced at the end of this year's band camp meeting on July 26, 2005. Pre-paid orders can be placed for t-shirts and sweatshirts at that time. Shirts will be ready for the first field show performance. The winning entry will receive one free sweatshirt and be able to say, "I designed that shirt!!!"
