The Wind Symphony is the most advanced performance ensemble at LHS, and students will earn a chair placement based on auditions held in the spring. This band focuses on high level qualities of performance musicianship and beginning concepts of music theory. Wind Symphony students will participate in school concerts and statewide music performance assessments, where the LHS Band frequently receives top ratings.

 

 

The Lakeland High School Band is made up of several ensembles that collectively form the band program as a whole.  The Florida School Music Association forbids any student with a cumulative GPA below 2.0 from performing in any type of Music Performance Assessment, including marching, concert, and solo & ensemble festivals.  All students are therefore expected to successfully maintain this minimum GPA in order to be productive members of the band program.

 

All band classes and activities at Lakeland High School are governed by the Polk County Fine Arts curriculum, and also by the Sunshine State Standards for secondary music classes.
