Battle Lake Speech heads to Sections!
Battle Lake Speech has had a fantastic season. We have a very talented group of speakers who have done remarkably well this season. Coaches Lukken and Scherfenberg are so proud of this team. Some highlights of the season are getting 2nd at Fergus Falls, 1st at Breckenridge, 2nd at Morris, and 2nd at Parkers Prairie. We received 3rd place at Subsections and all of our 12 speakers moved on to Sections. Good Luck today at Perham to the awesome Battle Lake Speech Team!

Battle Lake Band Blastoff is almost here!

Join us on Thursday, April 16th from 4:00–6:00 PM in the Battle Lake School Auditorium for an exciting night of music exploration!

Bring your current 4th or 5th grader to try out band instruments and make their very first sounds. Experts from Ekroth Music will be there to help students find the perfect fit!

Beginner instruments available:
Flute • Clarinet • Trumpet • Trombone • Baritone • Percussion • Oboe • French Horn
(Percussion is available, with preference given to students with piano experience)

Thinking about saxophone?
We start students on clarinet first—it’s easier on smaller hands and more affordable to maintain!

Come discover the joy of music and kick start your student’s band journey—we can’t wait to see you there!

Please reach out if you have any questions or are unable to attend but want your student to try out!
