currently directed by Nathan Sensabaugh, in which students can perform, including marching band, concert band, symphonic band, two jazz bands, pep band, and a "graduation band" that plays at commencement. The marching band plays for all football games, performs at band nights annually, and participates in the Cortland Street Fair Parade every June. During the last week of July, the Lakeview band goes to band camp (previously at Hiram College) in order to prepare for the band's shows. At the Ohio Music Education Association district contest, held in the spring, the Lakeview Symphonic Band has received 35 "I" (superior) ratings out of the last 36 years, performing originally in B class, then moving up to A class. The Concert Band, performing in Festival Class (no rating), and then in D class, has been in existence from the early 1990s. They have performed admirably at these contests as well. If a "I" is achieved by the Symphonic Band at districts, they then proceed to the state contest, held in April, which they have received more than 20 "I" ratings. The band also attends out-of-state festivals and competitions almost every year including Disney World, Chicago, Cincinnati, Williamsburg, and various others. The band's success has attracted numerous groups to perform at the school's 850-seat Raidel Auditorium including the Notre Dame Symphonic Band. Choir There are several choirs, directed by Bonnie Chronister (formerly by Jane Page), in which students perform, including a concert choir, Advanced Women's Choir, and Madrigals. Page had been at Lakeview since 1976 and built an extremely successful choral program. The Madrigal group, also known as the Chamber Singers in the spring semester, has performed a Madrigal Feaste during the Christmas season since 1984 in the school's cafeteria. The event is extremely popular and tickets sell out very early. In the past few years, the Chamber Singers have been attending OMEA's district and state contest and have received straight "I"s ("superior") every year. During the 2005-2006 school year, the group switched from performing Class A music to Class AA music (the hardest classification of music). Only a few choirs in the state perform this level of repertoire. Page has also taught students that have gone to study music at prestigious colleges including Westminster Choir College and others. She has also taught students that have continued on to become part of outstanding college choirs including but not limited to Ohio University's "The
