    The LCMEA marching band festival will be held on Wednesday, September 20th at 7 pm at Mentor High School. Marching bands from our Lake County area schools will come and perform their halftime shows.

These proceeds go towards the LCMEA scholarship fund.

    * Marchers will dress for the “Full” or “White” uniform for this week. You must have your white gloves.
    * You should have your black dri wick shirt for underneath the competition shirt.
