Welcome to the Lake Braddock Band website!

2019 Marching Bruins!

The history of the Lake Braddock Band is one of continued excellence reflecting the dedication of hard-working students, parents, and faculty. Lake Braddock is the only school in the Commonwealth of Virginia to be designated a Virginia Honor Band for 38 consecutive years and 38 superiors in marching assessment!

Congratulations to the Lake Braddock Band students for their selection by the John Philip Sousa Foundation as a recipient of the 2017 Sudler Flag of Honor.  The Award is recognized as one of the Nation’s highest awards that can be presented to a concert band program.  The purpose of the Sudler Flag of Honor is to identify, recognize and honor high school band programs internationally that have demonstrated particularly significant high standards of excellence in concert activities over a sustained period of several years.  This is the second time Lake Braddock Band students have been selected to receive this award, earning it first in 1995.

See the list of honors and awards the Lake Braddock Band has received over the last few years.
