Message from the director:
Welcome to our band website! We are one of the many fine elementary bands that makes up our 5-12 program in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. At Eden Lake, students have an opportunity to begin learning an instrument of the band in fifth grade and continue on with this life skill. We offer instruction on flute, oboe, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet, horn, baritone (euphonium), tuba and percussion. Mr. Platta directs the beginning and second-year bands with passion and dedication to artistry, unity, and community. We hope you will consider being part of the legacy that is Eden Lake Band.
