Exciting things are happening at Emmaus Lutheran School and Preschool, where a brand-new band program is hitting all the right notes this year! Over 20 enthusiastic students have picked up instruments, including flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, and drums, meeting twice a week to practice together.
The students have already mastered three fun songs — ”Baby Shark,” “Hot Cross Buns,” and the iconic “Jaws” theme — and are gearing up to perform for chapel services. Some may even join a “pep band” to energize the crowd at school sports events this fall, where many of these talented students also shine as volleyball and football players.
Emmaus offers a well-rounded education with a variety of extracurricular opportunities. In addition to band and sports, students take part in student government, learning leadership skills that complement their academic success. “At Emmaus, our students excel not only in the classroom but also in music, athletics, and service to others,” shared a staff member.
The new band will make its first major public appearance at the school’s beloved Christmas Extravaganza on December 8 at 2 pm in the church sanctuary. This festive event features an uplifting worship service with handbell choirs, student dramas, and now the debut of the band! After the service, families can enjoy free activities, including crafts, pony rides, a petting zoo, and a bouncer for younger children.
Emmaus Lutheran School and Preschool offers a Christ-centered education for students from preschool through 8th grade, building a foundation of faith, knowledge, and character. To learn more, visit EmmausAlhambra.org or call 626-289-3664.
