Hello Lanier band family. Just a heads up. We have our band camp coming up August August 19th-23rd from 2-4pm. This camp is for all students that were promoted to the Symphonic or Honors band. We will dust the instruments, learn plenty of football songs and have an informal concert at the end of the week.
If you have any questions email me at [email protected]
We are going to have an exciting year!
Thank you,
Leo Hernandez
Director of Bands

Pup Band Camp got off to a great start yesterday with students quickly shaking off the 'rust' and learning new music for the upcoming school year. Not deterred by broken air conditioning in the Band Hall, Mr. Hernandez (1&2) had warmups and practice on-stage in the auditorium. Camp continues today thru Friday 5-7pm. See you there!

ARE YOU GOING TO BAND CAMP NEXT WEEK??
The 2015-2016 Lanier Pup Band Camp will be held August 17th-21st 5PM-7PM at LMS Band Hall, with a performance on the 21st for parents and friends. This event is for all Symphonic and Honors band students for the 2015-2016 school year (no beginning band students).
We will have two special guest artists providing master classes on brass & woodwind essentials for practice, instrument care, and equipment. We will play, practice, and end each evening with team building fun activities.
We want to be ready for the 2015-16 because it is going to be monumental for all. So please make every effort to be here for band camp! Please RSVP via Charms or email to Mr. Hernandez.
