Starting with introductory classes in fifth grade and advancing to a proficient upper school band/orchestra program, the SouthLake Christian band program presents numerous chances for students of various skill levels to develop and enhance their talent on wind and percussion instruments. With performances occurring several times annually both on and off campus, and participation in regional festivals and honors ensembles, the band program offers students a diverse array of experiences to nurture their musical abilities and make a cultural impact for Christ.

 

Starting in fifth grade, the orchestra program focuses on perfecting string skills, music reading, and overall musicianship. This education helps students become confident and proficient young individuals who grasp how each person in the body of Christ collaborates to create something much greater than themselves.
