Midland Band Overview
At Midland we currently have band for grades 6-12. Three different bands make up the program: 6th Band, 7/8 Band, and HS Band with approximately 14 students in each ensemble. We have also brought back basketball pep band and plan to play at the football games as well next year (2026). In 2026 we will be starting 5th grade band as well, as the 6th graders are moving down to the elementary.
The instruments available to play in band are flute, oboe, bassoon, clarinet, bass clarinet, alto tenor and baritone saxophone, trumpet, french horn, trombone, baritone, euphonium, tuba, percussion (percussion include all the drums, mallets, and extra equipment such as triangle and tambourine)
My name is Ms Jaklyn (Jackie) Lamphier and I teach 5-12 band and 4-5 general music at Midland. I went to grade school at Center Point-Urbana. I graduated from Drake University in December 2023 with my bachelor of music education, and substitute taught around the Cedar Rapids area spring of 2024. I am more than excited to see what we can accomplish as a band program!
