All About the LMMS Band |
|
The Lost Mountain Middle School band program is a very rewarding and popular program offered at LMMS. We are proud to include over 430 students in grades 6-8 as members in a program that has been rated as superior by adjudicators and regarded among the best middle school band programs in the state of Georgia and the southeastern United States.
The LMMS band program performs annually at the District XII GMEA Large Group Performance Evaluation Festival where the program consistently receives “Superior” ratings. The LMMS Band Program was selected as the recipient of the 2010-2011 State Exemplary Performance Award for Middle School Band by the Georgia Music Educators Association. In 2008, the LMMS Symphonic Band was selected as one of 5 bands from over 75 applicants from the Southeastern U.S. to perform as a “featured ensemble” at the 16th annual University of Georgia Band Festival & Clinic. In addition, LMMS bands consistently have students place in honor bands in the metro Atlanta area as well as the All-District and All-State Bands.
The band program offers a wide variety of opportunities for musical instruction, experience, and performance through the curriculum of our program. The more experienced a student becomes, the more ensembles and opportunities they can choose to participate in. In addition to the band class that meets daily for 50 minutes (during the connections rotation), students have the opportunity to participate in Jazz Ensemble, Pep Band, Percussion Ensemble, Brass Choirs, Woodwind Choirs. These opportunities are created to provide each and every student with the musical opportunities they are interested in.
We hope that you desire and choose to a part of something special and join the LMMS band program. THERE IS NO PRIOR MUSICAL EXPERIENCE NEEDED! Over 90% of our students had never played an instrument prior to joining the band program . . . we will teach you everything you need to know!
