Students in fifth grade have the opportunity to try out band. Students will be tested and matched with the best fit for success, and learn how to play a new instrument! They perform at three concerts throughout the year. These are the Winter Concert in December, the Parade of Bands Concert in February, and a Spring Concert in May.
Students prepare and perform a solo or duet/trio for the Solo/Ensemble Night in March. Students will select their piece in December, and perform for a judge in March. Students can receive a Division I Superior or Division II Excellent Rating,
Students have the opportunity to partake in an honor band at the end of the year. The River City Honor Band is held in April. Students ready for the challenge will be nominated for the event. As selection is decided by non-LM personnel, acceptance is not guaranteed.
