NEVR Ensemble Showcase

The LHS Concert Band (with band director Mr Woodhouse) recently spent the day at Wantirna Secondary College for the inaugural regional ensemble showcase and workshop. 

Our band joined other bands from seven other schools from the region to perform and receive feedback on a series of concert band pieces. 

The day was really helpful and also a lot of fun with games and music trivia while making new friends.

Rookie Band

Our beginning students have begun rehearsing on Tuesdays with Mrs Morrow, and they are already sounding awesome! We can’t wait to see you in the spotlight on stage at Mid-Year Melodies next month.

LHS Band Captain

Congratulations to Isla Canning (Year 10), who has been awarded the 2025 LHS Band Captaincy. 

Isla demonstrates an exceptional level of commitment and leadership in all aspects of Instrumental Music and will be a fabulous mentor for all band members throughout the year.
