Placement Auditions for incoming Woodwind and Brass students will be held at LASA HS on Saturday, May 10th from 9:00am-2:30pm. The auditions will help us place students into the correct band class. All you need to do is put “BAND 1” as your 1st elective choice. The audition music is available on the website.
Special invitation to those who are not in band, but are looking for a very active group to join at your new school: we invite you to consider joining the award winning and exciting LASA Colorguard. The colorguard is the dance, flag, sabre, and rifle section of the band. Members of the marching band (including colorguard) receive P.E. credit during the fall semester.
