"He's exDerienced a marvelous career as a director in which he developed one of the model high school band programs in the nation," Director of Bands James K. Copenhaver said. Lambert's high school bands were invited to perform at all the major parades, the prestigious Mid-West Clinic in Chicago and the Virginia Music Educators Association convention.

I've learned invaluable lessons about organization of a big program from both of them," Lambert said. "Mr. Lambert's biggest strength at the high school, besides his musicianship, was the way he related to the kids," said music education junior Jim Woodrum, one of Lambert's former students at J.S.
