Students & Parents can go on the website at www.encorebandcamp.com to register and make their deposits or payments. It is the same registration for either Encore! or Encore! High. Last summer, we were very excited to celebrate year #30 of Encore! as well as the very first Encore! High camp and look forward to bigger and better things in 2019! We had almost 250 students in camp last year including 36 in our inaugural High School Band and are thrilled that every student who attended last year is eligible to return this year. With the returning HS students as well as the 8th graders who participated in camp last summer, we are hoping to double the size of the high school group this year in addition to adding another great group of new middle school students!

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 Monday, Aug. 6) 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.
