Our Program
The Livingston High School Band program is a showcase of musical talent and diversity. The Royal Brigade Marching Band, Symphonic Band, Concert Band and LHS Jazz Ensemble are various forums for musical performance and provide students with a wide range of group band activities to choose from. Individually, students are encouraged to audition for several different honor organizations, including the South East Texas Honor Band, and the Texas Music Educators Association All Region Band. In addition, students may participate in UIL competitions as a group or in the regional Solo and Ensemble competition. Our goal is to provide each student with the opportunity for success as a musician and as a member of the community.
Junior High Band
The Livingston Junior High School Band program is committed to providing students with a wide variety of musical experiences, designed to prepare students for high school as well as enrich the time the students spend at the junior high school. Its goal is to teach students to be highly competent musicians, accomplished performers, sensitive artists, and strong musical leaders who clearly understand the value and role of music as part of our cultural heritage and welfare and also as part of the very essence of human existence. |
