Order your gear at Registration Day!

Each member of the program needs certain equipment to participate in band. Most of these items only need to be purchased once and can be used for a student’s entire time in the program. Our amazing Band Boosters facilitate ordering these items for our students. In addition, all students will need to purchase quality athletic shoes for their physical health and safety in marching band. A list of recommended shoes can be found in the Student Handbook, which is in the Resources tab.

The items below are required for all members. Returning Members will need to purchase any individual items they may need to replace. New Members will order their required gear in a Starter Kit that includes all of the required items below. We are still locking in our pricing for this coming year, but Starter Kits will be between $160-180 for Winds and Percussion members and roughly $350 for Color Guard members.

    Per UIL rules, students must now provide a sports physical and medical history in order to participate in marching band activities. Every member of the program will need to have a physical exam completed and turn in a physical form with medical history to the band staff before they will be allowed to participate in marching band/color guard activities in July.

    Students will have an opportunity to get their physical done at LCHS on Registration Day. Students should report to the gym and will be seen on a first come-first served basis. Physicals will be $25.

  • Private Lessons

    We strongly encourage all members of the band to take advantage of private lesson opportunities. There are around 200 students in the LCHS Band and only four directors. A private lesson is an invaluable chance to get one-on-one instruction with a professional on your student’s instrument. The best thing about private lessons is that they are completely focused on each student's learning and growth. If your student wants to learn above and beyond what their band class is doing, private lessons are the perfect way to encourage that extra growth. Private lessons are the #1 way for students to "get ahead" in learning and excelling on their instrument!
