🎢 Carowinds Trip for 6th Grade
🎶 THE LAING BAND EXPERIENCE: MUSIC, FRIENDSHIP & CELEBRATION!
Being part of the Laing Middle School Band is not just about learning music — it’s about growing together as musicians and friends, performing with pride, and celebrating your accomplishments.
Each spring, our 6th graders cap off their first year in band with an exciting trip to Carowinds Amusement Park on the North Carolina–South Carolina border! Students not only get to spend a full day of fun at the park, but also have the opportunity to perform in a regional band competition, where they showcase their talent and represent Laing in front of adjudicators and peers from across the Southeast.
The Carowinds Band Festival gives students a chance to experience a real performance setting beyond school — complete with feedback from professional judges — and then celebrate their achievement with a thrilling day at the park!
It’s a rewarding combination of music and adventure, designed to strengthen confidence, teamwork, and musicianship while creating memories that last long after the final ride.
