Good Afternoon, Lake Mary Band Family,

This message is an example of the weekly email I send out during the school year. So, be on the lookout for these to help stay up to date with the wide variety of band events that happen every week!
 
Congratulations, Leadership & Rookies!
Congratulations to the LMHS Band Leadership students for completing Leadership Camp this week! Student leadership is an integral part of a successful band program, and I am confident that these student leaders will leave a positive legacy for future members of the Ram bands.
Congratulations also go out to this year’s Rookies for completing Rookie Camp on Friday! I feel confident in speaking for Leadership when I say that we are impressed by the Rookies’ energy, effort, and skill. Needless to say, I am so excited for this school year!
