High School Marching/Pep/Concert Band
The High School Band program is a well-rounded musical experience which will further the students’ musical abilities with advanced techniques for their instrument as well as advanced music theory concepts and continual music history connections.
*Marching Band begins prior to the start of the school year at Band Camp and lasts approximately nine weeks into the school year. Marching Band students will be REQUIRED to attend the camp, all home football games for performance and a possible Marching Band Showcase trip at the end of the marching season.
*Pep Band is an outreach of Marching Band and students will be REQUIRED to perform at various Varsity Boys and Girls basketball games. Students may only miss one of these important school community performances.
*Concert Band REQUIRES participation in several evening performances and rehearsals over the course of the year (including the Christmas concert, Mid-Winter Festival concert, Spring concert, MSBOA Festival concert, Solo and Ensemble Festival, etc.). At the end of twelfth grade, students should be ready to perform with college and civic instrumental groups. High School Band is open to all High School students with previous band experience or with the director’s permission. Other performance opportunities may become available and parents will be notified of these possibilities far in advance.
