Marching Ensemble Practices

Marching Band and Color Guard is a one semester class. During the fall semester, marching band class/practice is held after school on Mondays and Wednesdays until 5:45pm.

Football Game Days

Here’s a typical schedule for game day:

2:55 PM Students report to instrumental music room right after school for practice
3:30 to 5:45 PM Students are driven to a Marching Ensemble member’s home for the pregame dinner and returned back to school.
5:45 PM – Roll call in the instrumental music room
6:00 to 6:30 PM – Band practice. Parent volunteers set up designated marching section in stadium bleachers
6:50 PM – Pregame show
7:00 PM to end of game – Marching Ensemble performs in stands and half time show.
End-of-game – Approx. 9:30 PM– Students change out of uniforms and are dismissed around 9:45 pm after a performance debriefing. Parents must plan to be at school before the dismissal time to pick up their student(s).
After each game (over the weekend) students need to clean their gloves, spats (shoe covers) and polish their shoes. Clean and press the pants as needed. The uniform jackets and other accessories are maintained by the uniform parent team.

Halloween Celebration

Students dress up and perform at elementary schools. More details will be provided once schedules are finalized.

Marching Competitions

We perform in two Marching Band competitions that Marching students are required to attend. These are full day events, with students arriving at school around 6:00am for roll call and boarding buses and returning in the evening (Time determined based on competition schedule). Bus transportation and lunch is provided. Signups to chaperone these trips will be at the back-to-school BBQ.
