Ensembles
As a member of The Patriot Band, a student can look forward to a positive, rewarding, exciting, enjoyable, and hard-working experience. Through dedication and integrity, Patriot Band members can expect to create lifelong friendships. There is a place for everyone in The Patriot Band Program.
Patriot Marching Band
Comprising of all members of the Lakeview Centennial HS Band Program, the Patriot Marching Band is the pride of the Lakeview Centennial High School. The Patriot Band is a State Marching Contest participant and has been a consistent UIL sweepstakes award winner. The Patriot Band performs at all Lakeview Centennial HS pep rallies, varsity football games, marching band contests, exhibitions, and other events. Members of the Patriot Band receive P.E., fine arts, and elective credits through their participation in the program.
Concert Bands
Instrumentalists will be placed in a concert ensemble by audition. Each concert ensemble is a yearlong appointment. In addition to the audition, other factors such as a student’s participation in the All-State process, Solo and Ensemble, and general character are all considered when placing students in the proper performance ensemble.
Jazz Band
Jazz Band at Lakeview Centennial is offered as an after school opportunity on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The band is directed by Mr. Santana.
Percussion Ensemble
The Percussion Ensembles meet during regularly scheduled class time as well as after school. These groups compete in the GISD Solo and Ensemble competition as well as local percussion festivals.
Color Guard
An important component of The Patriot Band is our Color Guard and Winter Guard. During the Fall Semester, the Color Guard provides visual interest to our marching performances. During the Spring Semester, the Winter Guard competes at indoor competitions around the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. The Color Guard is open to both males and females. Performers of the Color Guard and Winter Guard receive dance and movement training and learn to perform with equipment including flags, rifles, and sabres.
