Our Website

Do you know what you can find on our website? In addition to the calendar and spirit shop, there is SO much more! So much more that there is too much to tell you in one post. We will be featuring a different section in the upcoming weeks. This first week, we want to introduce:

A list of private lesson instructors & accompanists – you can find this list under resources on the home page.

This list is valuable to you if your student is looking for additional instruction on an instrument. With solo & ensemble approaching, your student will need to secure their own accompanist and you can find a list on this page as well.

If you see any errors, please send an email to communications@lakotawestbands.org.


Make it a great week!!!
