Philly Pops Brass Quintet Visits LHS

Lawrence High School (LHS) music students were treated to a performance of a brass quintet of the Philly Pops Orchestra at an assembly in the LHS auditorium on September 10. LHS was one of three high schools in Mercer County to have this opportunity. The musicians performed several pieces, both familiar and new, and explained how brass instruments evolved to the ones we know today.
