GL band surging

The Glen Lake Band program rocked the stadium during Glen Lake football games all season as students prepare for the upcoming concert season in the winter.

Glen Lake band director Elaina Abarrak has been leading the charge for the marching Lakers, along with an eager group of freshmen and sophomores who are taking the reins and making the program their own.

“It’s my first year of teaching. Everyone tells you it’s always hard, but the students are very flexible,” Abarrak said. “Every day I wake up and I’m glad that I am here. It’s an amazing opportunity and I feel so lucky every single day that this is the position that I landed. I feel really, really fortunate.”
