About the Marching Band

The Leander Marching Band is a group of instrumental student musicians who generally perform outdoors, and who incorporate movement – usually some type of marching – with their musical performance.

Instrumentation typically includes brass, woodwinds, and percussion instruments and the music usually incorporates a strong rhythmic component suitable for marching. In addition, the band performs field shows at football games, special events and marching band competitions. The Band also performs at “Pep Rallies” and implements many of the songs, traditions, and flair from outside performances.

Leander Band History

The Leander High School Lion Marching Band maintains a long and proud tradition of excellence in musical performance and presentation, both on and off the field of competition. The Pride of Lion Country has, through the determination and talents of directors and students alike, brought both national and international recognition to Leander High School and the Leander Independent School District.

Ranked among the top high school music programs in Texas, the Band consistently strives for and achieves top honors and awards in marching and concert competitions. This dedication and determination, combined with extremely high levels of musical talent and academic achievement, has resulted in numerous Band students continuing on to higher levels of music education. Each year, the Leander Band places a disproportionately large number of students in the highest levels of University Interscholastic League competitions as well as the National Honor Society.

Leander High School’s Lion Marching Band has garnered an impressive list of awards over years for its musical and performance quality. A true high school show band, this group of dedicated, determined, and talented students take pride in performing some of the most musically intricate and technically difficult pieces available for marching bands.
