The Lincoln Middle School
Jazz Bands took first place at the Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival
- Thursday, February 25.
This is the first time in the history of
Lincoln Middle School that the Jazz Bands have been recognized
with a first place trophy at this festival. The performances throughout
the day were exceptional and the judges were quoted as saying
“Loved these programs and the choice of music was spot on. Outstanding
Job!” and “Awesome bands who entertained us thoroughly!”
Jazz Band II was asked to perform on the
afternoon concert on the large stage in the Kibbie Dome in front
of hundreds of students from across the northwest and sounded
amazing.
If you happen to see the 55+ people from
these ensembles please let them know that they are truly AWESOME!!!
Welcome to the Lincoln
Middle School Bands web site!
The Lincoln Middle School Band Program has been carefully developed
and structured to benefit students in a positive manner. Participation
as a band student results in more than simply learning to perform
with a musical instrument.
Students attain high levels of self-expression, creativity, discipline,
cooperation and achievement through the study and performance of
music. LMS Bands promote the development of skills necessary for
success in all future music and non-music endeavors.
Music participation enhances and promotes respect for self as well
as others, problem-solving, teamwork, goal-setting, self-expression,
coordination, memory skills, self-confidence, self-esteem, concentration,
commitment, and a multitude of other skills and attitudes which
prepare students to succeed in the world around them.
The LMS Band Program offers opportunities for shared family experiences,
including attendance at musical events, playing music together as
a family, performing with family and friends, and the sense of accomplishment
and pride for those activities.
I welcome your support as we begin this journey of learning music
together. Please email me with any questions you may have!
