Lincoln High School Band
Our Sioux Falls, SD-based band program features a nationally recognized marching band, three competitive jazz bands, four concert bands, pep bands and color guard. Our directors lead the band, which is supported by the Lincoln Band Parents Association (BPA), an all-volunteer, non-profit parent organization.

Concert & Performance Tickets
The Sioux Falls School District began using Bound in Fall 2024 for spectator tickets to fine arts and sporting events hosted by the district. This includes the LHS Band's school year performances for concert bands and jazz bands, as well as football and basketball games where the band performs. Download the Bound app or go online to buy your tickets in advance. Be ready to show your ticket on your device (or printed by you), so we can scan at the event. (Or contact the band directors if you'd like to get tickets via cash or check.)
​
Note: Tickets may differ for the President's Bowl, Festival of Bands, the Indoor Marching Show/Chicken Dinner and other select events. Tickets details for out-of-town competitions will be communicated via the band and BPA on social media, email and/or the website.
