Lamar Band Ensembles

THE PRIDE OF LAMAR — THE VIKING MARCHING BAND

The Viking Marching Band is one of the most visible and successful groups on our campus. They perform at all varsity football games, pep rallies, and other events throughout the community. During the concert season the members of the marching band audition and perform as the Wind Symphony, Symphonic Band, and Concert Band. In addition, they participate in the UIL Solo & Ensemble competition, All City Band, All Region Band, Jazz Band and Symphony Orchestra, and All State Bands and Orchestras. Besides being involved in musical endeavors, members of the Viking Band are very active in other areas of LHS where they are involved in virtually every club and organization offered at Lamar High School. The philosophy of the Viking Marching Band is to perform at each individual’s best every time they step on the performance field. The sense of Tradition, Dedication, Determination, Discipline and Pride is expected from every member of the organization. The Viking Marching Band has truly earned the name: THE PRIDE OF LAMAR.

WIND ENSEMBLE

The Wind Ensemble is the advanced (varsity) band in the Lamar High School program. Students will prepare/perform an advanced music curriculum and have a strong commitment to rehearsal and individual practice time. Private lessons are strongly recommended. Membership in this organization is by audition and selection by the directors. Audition materials regularly include All-State/All-Region Etudes, scales, and sight-reading.

SYMPHONIC BAND

The Symphonic Band (non-varsity band) is open to all Lamar High School Band students. Membership is determined by audition. Students will prepare and perform music for concerts and competitions.

CONCERT BAND

The Concert Band (freshman band) is required of all freshman Lamar Band students. Concert Band may be combined with Symphonic band for certain concerts throughout the year. Concert Band students will prepare and perform music for concerts and competitions.

JAZZ ENSEMBLE

The Jazz Ensemble consists mainly of students who are interested in jazz and are participating in their second, third, or fourth year of high school band. This group works on developing all jazz styles and improvisation. The Jazz Ensemble competes at several jazz festivals in the area. The jazz ensemble has participated in the Essentially Ellington national jazz program for over 9 years.

PERCUSSION ENSEMBLE

The Percussion Ensemble class is designed to give the students a chance to study percussion of all genres. In the fall, they focus mainly on marching percussion and All-Region music, which helps the students better understand music and their role in the band program, as well as preparing them for cityand region-wide competition. In the spring, they focus strictly on concert percussion, exposing students to all aspects of percussion and not limiting anyone to one discipline. This enhances the band program by giving the students a well-rounded percussion musical experience.

COLOR GUARD AND WINTER GUARD

The color guard is the visual ensemble that enhances the marching band in the fall. The guard auditions in the spring and rehearses throughout the summer and fall along with the rest of the marching band. Students train extensively in dance and traditional and non-traditional color guard equipment. After marching season, the members of the color guard go immediately into winter guard season where they perform indoors against 50+ other winter guards in the north Texas area. The Lamar winter guard has been extremely successful over the years including last year where they won the class at many NTCA competitions. The guard also marches in the 4th of July parade and often performs on the spring band trip.
