Parents/Guardians,
If you would like to be considered as a chaperone for the band trip to Universal Studios in Orlando (Nov 4-7, 2021), please complete this form. Chaperones will have double occupancy per room and a reduced rate (yet to be determined).
This form is not your commitment to go, it is only to express your interest. Once you have completed this form, you will receive further information such as exact pricing and details as they become available.
All students and parents/chaperones that will be attending the Fall 2021 Orlando trip will need to go online and register with Group Travel Network for our trip. This will get all of our students into the system for the trip and also allow you to purchase travel insurance through a third party provider. You can download the instructions from the link below. This needs to be done by Friday, May 21st, 2021.
Some important things to know when registering:
Instructions for Individual Registration – Lowndes Band Fall 2021 Orlando
As we begin preparations for Band Camp 2021, I put together a document that may answer some questions for some of our new members as well as some good reminders for our returning members. We will be holding Band Camp the way we always have prior to this past fall. We will meet with everyone everyday. Some things to pay close attention to. We all learned a better way of doing some things during the pandemic. The one main thing we learned was having lunch on site. It was safer for the students, by that I mean we didn’t have a bunch of students jumping in cars and rushing off campus to be the first ones at the restaurants, and it was much more efficient on time. Please read this document thoroughly and don’t hesitate to email me if you have any questions at jonbowman@lowndes.k12.ga.us.
All students participating in the Lowndes High Georgia Bridgemen this Fall, must have submitted Student Health Form with the band. No student will be allowed to participate in any band activities until this form is submitted through this site. This needs to be done by a Parent or Guardian.
You can access the form at the link below:

The Lowndes High School “Georgia Bridgemen” are proud to announce that registration is now open for the 17th annual “Battle on the Border” marching band competition. The competition will be held Saturday, October 16, 2021 in Martin Stadium on the Lowndes campus in Valdosta, GA.
Due to the prelims and finals format, only a limited number of performance slots are available. We cannot accept additional applications once these slots are filled. We will determine performance order by the date and time on the application. All applications must be submitted by October 4, 2021. All applications must be signed by the band director and the school principal.
For more information on the contest, including the registration form, entry fees, classification system, the judging panel, and more, please visit our Battle on the Border page.
On the 100-degree practice field in the middle of July, or a steamy South Georgia night in the Concrete Palace, or a Band Competition in another state, if you are watching our Georgia Bridgemen, there are band nurses volunteering their personal time to handle whatever emergency comes their way. Today, we say THANK YOU to all the people who have served in the past or are currently serving as a Band Nurse for all the hours they volunteer to keep our children healthy while they do what they love. HAPPY NURSES DAY TO ALL NURSES WHO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY!
Please follow the link below for your middle school to sign up for band!
It is with great excitement that we are able to announce that the Georgia Bridgemen will be traveling again in the Fall of 2021. While we feel it may not be prudent at this time to take on a trip like we have done in the past, we will be taking the band to Orlando, FL for some fun at Universal Orlando and a performance opportunity.
Below are the links for and “Intent Form” and “Payment Agreement Form”. Both of these need to be returned to the student’s director or mailed to the Lowndes Band Boosters by April 30th, 2021 along with an $100.00 deposit.
Obviously, as we get closer to the trip detailed information will be provided and meeting had to discuss all aspects of the trip. Please fell free to email me with any questions. jonbowman@lowndes.k12.ga.us
For those of you who were not able to make it to the meeting or may want to look back over the information that was covered, please feel free to check out the following links provided.
