Lakehouse Pros.
The highest level of musicianship and LhMA's go-to ensemble for events. For serious performers ages 13 to 19. Perform live, write original music, and record an EP at Lakehouse Recording Studios.
More Than a Band. A Real Music Career, Starting Now.
Lakehouse Pros is the pinnacle of the Lakehouse Music Academy student journey for teens. It's an intentionally small, audition-only ensemble that gives elite young musicians the same experiences working professionals have: gigging at top local venues, writing original music, and releasing a recorded EP.
"We develop true musicians and artists, not just cover performers."
Each instrument features a 1st and 2nd Chair - recognizing individual excellence while providing growth opportunities for all members.

What It Takes To Be a Pro
Lakehouse Pros is an elite ensemble. Acceptance means serious dedication to the craft, to your bandmates, and to the season.
The Audition
Prepare a 1:30 - 3:00 minute piece that showcases who you are as a musician. Solo performance or with a backing track - your call. Vocalists: no tracks with pre-recorded vocal parts.
Auditions are 15-minute slots. Music Director Paul Ritchie and the team are looking for:
- General musicianship and command of your instrument
- Stage presence and professionalism
- Pocket and time feel - do you lock in?
- Tone, pitch, and dynamic control
Don't overthink the song choice. Play something that genuinely represents your best at this moment. Authenticity over complexity.
Sign-up deadline: April 1, 2026. Use the form below to reserve your audition slot.
