Marching Band includes all band members in grades 9-12. During the marching band season, the band will perform during select football games, marching competitions and parades. At the conclusions of the marching season, the band will concentrate on preparation for the indoor concert season through continued work on music fundamentals and ensemble playing. During semester one, eligible students will have the opportunity to audition for the many honor band festivals held in the area. Practices will be at 7:30 a.m. daily during the marching season. Attendance at band camp, usually held one to two weeks prior to the start of the school year, is mandatory.
