Welcome to your LMS Band Page! 

If you have any questions, please email Ms. Czechanski at mlczechanski@smcps.org

Welcome Back!

It's time to dust off those instruments and start getting ready! I can't wait to begin. If you don't have an instrument, don't worry, we have many. 

Have a classmate that should join band? Talk to them about what playing opportunities are available for the school year. The Band Room is always looking for more musicians.

How can I help my child succeed in band?

Parents....this is for you!

Ever wonder how you can support your student at home? Maybe you never participated in band. That's not necessary to be a huge help to your child. Check out this slide presentation and see what you can do at home to help foster positive growth.
