Camp Concert on Thursday, June 13th at 6pm All Events @ Lake Mary HS. I would like to extend this opportunity to your student for participation in the Lake Mary - Longwood Summer Band Program. Summer band is a two-week program for students who are enrolled in band at any middle school, home school, or are entering into 9th grade for the 2019-2020 school year. This camp allows students to get an early start on learning an instrument, or a chance to learn new skills for 6th, 7th, 8th & 9th grade. Summer band is also for students who may not have signed up for band, but are interested in trying band for the first time. Summer band provides a relaxed environment where small groups of students who are really excited about band can have fun with their first musical experience!
