Small Ensembles
All students are required to participate in at least one ensemble group each year. While most only participate in the yearly solo and ensemble contests, some are active throughout the year and entertain at art exhibits, holiday parties, and other school and community celebrations. Examples of small ensemble groups include flute choir, clarinet choir, saxophone quartet, brass quintet, and percussion ensemble.
Jazz Too
Jazz Ensemble is designed for the developing jazz student and is open to anyone involved in the band program. Good, quality jazz music will be pursued. Special emphasis will be placed on correct jazz articulation, improvisation, and style. This group meets outside of the school day, presents two concerts a year, and performs and the University of Mary Jazz Festival and one out of state festival each year.
Pit Orchestra
The pit orchestra is an ensemble that performs for the annual fall LHS Musical. This ensemble performs professional Broadway shows in conjunction with student actors and singers. Recent shows have included "Little Shoppe of Horrors," "Cinderella," and "Into the Woods." Rehearsals are scheduled after school from September through November.
