Over the years we have made friends that are like family. | Ben Salgado Parent of Abby in the clarinet section and Abe in the baritone section. LW East 708-951-2111 The performances are amazing, but it’s the growth in your child as a musician and as a human that is the most rewarding part of being in the LWMB. It’s the process that pulls out the best in each kid. The shows and parades are the added bonus. | Join us for an exciting 2023 season! We are looking forward to seeing our returning members and meeting many new faces! One Band. One Sound. One Community. |
