Mission

Philosophy/Purpose

The L.D. Bell Band is one of the largest service organizations at L.D. Bell High School. The band has a history of excellence on the State and National stages and prides itself on being the hub of Blue Raider pride and school spirit in the H-E-B community. There are a variety of activities, events, classes, leadership roles, individual and group performance opportunities and offerings for the band students to benefit from over their three years.

Every student in the band is considered a part of the L.D. Bell High School UIL Competitive Bands for the school year unless otherwise approved by the band directors. This includes Marching and Concert Bands. Additionally, students receive a PE waiver after completing four semesters of band.

Members of the LDB Band will maintain a higher standard of academic achievement and behavior both on and off campus. Students are expected to participate properly, be responsible for their own learning, and demonstrate both a desire for self-discovery and individual improvement, as well as a steadfast commitment and accountability to the TEAM.
