 The event was emceed by Fiona and Sullivan
Peterson-Quinn, children of Kim Peterson-Quinn, the director of the
Theatre and Choir programs at LCHS. Accompanying the performers was
Julie Kasa on piano; Nathan Whiteman on percussion; Samantha Lewis
on base; and Lexi Taylor on electric guitar.
The fundraising event was held to raise money in order to hold a
production of Peter Pan. Stage productions of Peter Pan require
additional equipment currently absent from the LCHS stage - proper
rigging for “flying” performances, which is very expensive. “This is
the show I’ve most wanted to direct at LCHS,” Quinn wrote in the
event program.

Quinn’s father, a choir teacher
for Argo High School, held similar events with his music
students, which also inspired the idea. Given recent budget
restrictions facing the school, Quinn decided an alumni event
would be a good way to raise money and bring talented students
back to the school for a special evening of music.
Altogether, twenty-two alumni, who graduated from as far back as
1997 through 2017, performed a series of songs both vocal and
instrumental. After their performances ended, the alumni joined
the current choir members at LCHS for a joint performance of
“Let the River Run,” and “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
