The music program is thriving here at Lake Region. We currently have 18 students in Jazz Band, with enough players for two complete jazz combos, in addition to our combined big band. Our chorus numbers have also grown since last year; we now have balanced soprano, alto and baritone sections, with two tenors in the mix. We have an incredible leadership team with Josiah, Alayna, Monty, Xander, Lorelai, Tucker and Max, all doing amazing work. We’re also continuing our Modern Band repertoire, although the emphasis is more on the jazz and classical pieces. A special thanks to our Modern Band instructor, Christopher Doncaster, and our teachers Tom Arnold, Kelly Stuber and Sarah Kinsley for all of the support they are providing to LR students. When you read about all they have accomplished this year, you will see how hardworking, creative and inspiring our LR musicians are!
