Over Spring Break, the talented students of Lakeland Preparatory High School’s Band, Choir, and Orchestra traveled to Orlando to compete in the Music in the Parks Universal event. Despite the long journey and a late-night arrival, the young musicians showcased their dedication and skill with impressive performances early the next morning.
For the first time, the Band and Orchestra combined as the Lakeland Symphony, earning an excellent rating for their performance. The Choir also received an excellent rating, demonstrating poise and musical excellence. Both groups competed at Celebration High School, delivering two musical pieces each before an audience of supportive families and judges. Despite the challenges of travel and limited rest, the students performed with remarkable focus and energy.
Following their performances, the students had the opportunity to enjoy Universal Studios before attending the awards ceremony at Universal CityWalk, where they proudly received their accolades. The success of the high school arts groups sets the stage for Lakeland Prep Middle School musicians, who will have their turn to represent LPS in a similar competition next school year.
The outstanding achievements of Lakeland Prep’s music program highlight the hard work and dedication of its students and faculty, further establishing the school’s reputation for excellence in the arts.
