Lumen Regiment

Lumen Regiment is a marching ensemble within the South Bay Youth Performing Arts (SBYPA) programs division, created to provide students with a structured, high-quality marching band experience focused on performance, musicianship, and ensemble discipline. Rather than emphasizing competitive field shows, the program is centered on traditional and contemporary marching fundamentals, musical excellence, and professional presentation.

Members of Lumen Regiment receive instruction in marching technique, musical performance, ensemble coordination, and performance etiquette, with an emphasis on consistency, clarity, and teamwork. The ensemble primarily performs in parades and community events, offering students regular opportunities to represent SBYPA in public settings while developing confidence and reliability as performers.

The program places strong importance on commitment, accountability, and personal growth. Students are expected to maintain professional conduct, respect their fellow members, and take pride in representing the organization both on and off the street. Through rehearsals and performances, Lumen Regiment aims to build not only strong marching musicians, but also disciplined individuals who understand responsibility, collaboration, and leadership.

Lumen Regiment supports SBYPA’s broader mission of expanding access to structured performing arts education, while fostering a positive, respectful, and achievement-oriented environment for youth interested in the marching arts.
