What people say about the Lancer Band experience ...

Being in band has helped me make a few of my closest friends. It helped me grow not only as a musician, but as a person and a leader.

Jackson // Alumnus

For four years, band was my second family.

Laura // Alumna

Band has allowed me to express myself artistically and be involved in a program that has allowed me to grow as an individual and a musician. The memories I made and the people I met in band will be with me forever.

Jay // Alumnus

We were band parents for 7yrs and met so many great and talented kids and life long friends. Although exhausting, the days were extremely rewarding and would never trade the last 7 yrs for anything.
