About

The Lean Mean Performance Machine (LMPM) is the activity band for Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota. We play for football games, volleyball games, girls' and boys' basketball games, & girls' and boys' hockey games. The group also marches in the Hopkins Raspberry Festival 'Running of the Bulls' ceremony and the Raspberry Festival Parade.

Every other year the band takes a trip to Florida where they play in the "You're Instrumental" Workshop and march through EPCOT at Disney World. They then get time to hang out in Disney World and Universal Studios.

This is a dedicated group of musicians that love to support our sports programs and community.
