It is our pleasure to announce the 4th annual West Cobb Drumline Program! Providing specialized instruction and performance opportunities for all musical 6th, 7th, and 8th graders, it is our goal to offer a unique experience for middle school music students with a real-life approach to rehearsal, technique, marching and performing. It is a glimpse into the artistic and fun world of marching percussion.
The West Cobb Drumline Program is designed to develop the mental and physical aspects of marching percussion performance and leadership skills. Students will have a chance to work with master percussionists Colby Kuzontkoski and Jeff Hope in all areas of the marching percussion ensemble including marching technique, drumming skills, rudiments, sight-reading, drum care, as well as concepts on rehearsal technique and how to practice. Rehearsals will be hands-on allowing students the opportunity to work together and help each other learn and grow! We hope your students will join us in March!

Welcome 6th Graders: Signing up for Band! :)
Band Form Online Sign Up: Click Here!
Welcome!
The Lost Mountain Middle School Band Program would like to welcome you to our school! Sixth grade students will have the opportunity to join our program this week, and discover their favorite band instrument in the first few weeks of school! Students have a limited time to join our band program (forms are due by Wednesday, August 7th )and 6th grade is the only year students can join any of the LMMS Music programs.
Why Join Band?
When does band class meet? Does my child need to have previous experience?
Which instruments are in the 6th grade band?
Where do I rent / purchase an instrument?
As you consider various rental plans, it is important to keep in mind that your child’s success will be affected by the quality of the instrument. You are strongly encouraged to obtain your instrument from a reputable music store with an in-house or local repair shop. If your child plans on using an older instrument (for example, one that has been in the attic), please let a band director check it over for you to assure that it is in good playing condition. You will also want to make sure your instrument comes with a good quality case to protect your investment.
