About the Bands

The Lexington High School Band Program of Lexington, South Carolina is fed by six elementary schools, one intermediate school, and two middle schools. In Lexington School District One, band and orchestra students start instruction in the fifth grade. The elementary band directors also teach general music while the director at the intermediate school is full-time band. Lexington Middle School and Pleaseant Hill Middle School both have full-time band directors. There are two full-time high school directors. The Lexington bands continue to excel in all phases of marching, concert, and jazz performance.
