About the Lyman Diamonds:

The Lyman Diamonds, have been under the direction of Mr. Stephen Porter since 2000.  Since beginning competition in 2001, we have moved from Novice to Scholastic A class.  

In 2002, we placed as an FFCC AAA Silver Medalist and in 2007 as an FFCC Scholastic A silver medalist. We have consistently been a WGI regional finalist since 2005.

The Lyman Diamonds Winter Guard troupe is a sister group to the Marching Greyhounds Dance Team & Color Guard who appear in the Disney Christmas Parade, the Daytona 500, Lyman’s Winter and Spring Dance Showcases and other Seminole County venues.

We also perform with the Marching Band at Varsity Football games and Marching Band competitions. The Marching Greyhounds, under the Direction of Mr. Bill Muse and Mr. Stephen Porter, consistently place at the Superior level in the Florida Bandmaster and Seminole County Band Festivals.  

We appeared in the 2004 Nokia Sugar Bowl in New Orleans, marched in the 2006 St. Patrick’s Day Parade in New York City, and in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl in Atlanta on New Year’s Eve, 2007.

Contact Information:
If you have any questions please feel free to call Mr. Porter at 407-746-2000 or reach him by email at Stephen_Porter@scps.k12.fl.us (phone is better).
