• Lakeview Band

  This ensemble plays both traditional wind band repertoire and arrangements of music representing important historical periods from the Renaissance to the present. Students learn the inner workings of music while they develop and refine ensemble and performance skills. Lakeview Band is a cross-divisional group, and all band students are required to first sign up for private lessons on their instrument of choice. A beginning band will open in Fall 2022 for new members.

• Lakeview Samba School

  This unique program is the only one of its kind in Northeast Georgia. The core of a Brazilian Samba School is a large drumming group, called the Bateria, which plays engaging Afro-Brazilian musical genres. It creates energy and excitement akin to a marching band drum line which is effective for sporting and spirit events as well as parades. Lakeview Samba involves students from lower, middle, and upper schools (inside and outside of fine arts programs), parents, faculty, and staff, making it a unique community building activity. Participation in Lakeview Samba offers an accessible, hands-on introduction to world music for students at Lakeview Academy.
