South Lakes HS Band to Hold Tag Day
The annual Tag Day fundraiser for the South Lakes High School Band is scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 8. Tag Day is the band’s largest fundraiser and supplements funding provided by Fairfax County Public Schools. The band members will fan across the South Lakes Community, knocking on doors and asking for your donations.
Your tax-deductible contributions will help the band purchase and replace much-needed instruments. Many instruments date back to the late 1970s when South Lakes opened—and are now beyond repair. You may also donate online at www.southlakesband.org.
Last school year, the Music for All National Concert Band Festival judges selected South Lakes as just one of 14 bands to compete in Indianapolis, Ind. This year the Wind Ensemble is one of two high schools selected to perform at the Virginia Music Educators Conference in November. The Spirit of Reston Marching Band was a Bands of America Regional Finalist and earned a superior rating in the Virginia Band and Orchestra Directors Association State Marching Assessment. The school’s music programs are of the highest caliber in the country due to your support.
Approximately 140 students are enrolled in the band program at South Lakes High School, which includes the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band, Percussion Ensemble, Jazz Band, Flag Corps, and the Spirit of Reston Marching Band. The Wind Ensemble is the premier performing ensemble at South Lakes High School and performs across the United States.
