Registration Deadline Approaching for 2026 Lake Shore Summer Music Program

Registration is officially open for the Lake Shore Central School District 2026 Summer Music Program. Sponsored through the Community Education department, this five-week program provides structured opportunities for returning musicians to maintain their skills over the break and allows beginners to establish a strong foundation before the upcoming school year begins. The enrollment window closes firmly on Monday, June 15, 2026.
The program runs from July 7 to August 6, 2026, with all instruction and ensemble rehearsals hosted centrally at William G. Houston Middle School. Lessons and full band rehearsals are scheduled on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Because instructors build custom schedules based on raw enrollment numbers, families must note any planned vacation dates or scheduling constraints directly on their registration form.
