our band program

The Lake Central High School Band program has a long history of success. Just as special as these accomplishments are, so are the relationships built in the band community. Students form lasting friendships, develop as young leaders, and experience memories that will last a lifetime. The bond in each section from woodwinds to brass to percussion to color guard is strong. These students pour their energy and passion into this band program, and it shines through in their performances.

The parents and community that supports the band donates countless hours to help with equipment, travel, meals, and more, all to help the band. Many family and friends travel throughout the state and even across the country to support students as they perform. Alumni frequently attend performances in support of the band. People who become a part of the Lake Central Band family are members for life.
