Marching Band
Marching Band is an excellent opportunity for performing!
The Lambert marching band will perform more than 20 times from August to October! Most concert bands will perform 3 to 6 times in an entire year. The Lambert Marching Band (LMB) specifically targets large, regional and national competitions so that our students are exposed to more bands and large audiences at times performing in front of thousands of fans!
This fall, the LMB will be traveling to Indianapolis to compete at the largest marching band competition in the world!
