This channel features musical performances of the Lapel Community Band. The band was founded in 2000 by alumni of the Lapel High School band, in honor of their Director, Mr. Greg Scott.
In the sixteen years since, the band has grown and evolved to now include members from many towns and cities of Central Indiana, averaging 65 musicians. We are amateur musicians; amateur in the truest sense of the word: we play music for the love of it. Most of us played in our high school or college bands and got away from it as life happened and other demands pulled us away playing regularly. Many of us are "comeback" players, having been away from it for a decade, two, or even longer. All of us found the Lapel Community Band and to our surprise and delight, learned we hadn't realized just how much we'd missed it. The Lapel Community Band is a powerful wind ensemble. Playing music with this band and with this group of great friends is... joy.
