What voluntary events are available to students?
What's up with travel with the LCN Bands?
The LCN Bands take a major voluntary trip every two years. Usually, these trips rotate between Florida/Disney World and New York City. Typically, this trip will take place either near Spring Break, or in mid-April. Major trips get announce 1 full year prior to the trip with registration beginning in the spring and extending into the fall. In addition, some off years, the bands will attempt to plan a day trip for band students to take. For example, the band travelled to Cedar Point in the spring of 2024.
