Band Program
Lyneham High School's band program consists of five concert bands and two jazz bands, as well as several smaller ensembles. The concert bands are the Year 7 Beginner Band (for new students who are just beginning to learn an instrument), the Year 7 Advanced Band (for new students who already play an instrument), the Year 8 Concert Band (which, most years is the largest concert band in the ACT), the Year 9 Concert Band, and the Year 10 Concert Band. The jazz bands are the Intermediate Jazz Band (for students proficient in their instrument in years 7 and 8) and the Senior Jazz Band (students in years 9 and 10). Every year, all of these bands enter the Australian National Eisteddfod, and all of the concert bands go on interstate tours.
Towards the later stages of the year, Year 10 students are offered places in the Ginninderra Wind Orchestra as a means of continuing their musical careers after leaving Lyneham.
