Love a Live Marching Band?

Head out to the LHS Marching Band Annual PRACTICE-A-THON Saturday, August 18 for live music and more!

The award-winning Lemont High School Marching Band will host its annual PRACTICE-A-THON community showcase event and performance on Saturday, August 18 from noon to 4 pm at the Lemont High School Football Stadium. Members of the community are invited to come out to view the high school’s competitive marching program and enjoy music, food, vendors, raffles, and fun activities for the whole family.

The LHS Marching Band will practice throughout the event, and at about 3 pm, will perform a movement from their 2018 competitive marching season show.

The annual PRACTICE-A-THON helps raise funds to support the LHS band program, including instrument and uniform maintenance and repair, competition admission and travel expenses, and more. The LHS band program runs successfully with the support of the amazing Lemont community.
