Lansing Catholic High School - Students



		Students - Band and Choir
		Band & Choir Band and choir are academic courses at Lansing Catholic High School. That means, when a student takes band or choir, he or she receives academic credit. Performances for both groups are many throughout the year, including a much-loved Costume Concert. Additionally, the band marches at Homecoming and for a select number of football games during the season. Check out the concert dates and join us.
